ADOPT A RINK
Chaparral’s new rink will bring a seasonal, temporary pleasure skating rink to the green space at Chaparral Valley Square. Please remember that it is for pleasure skating only, no hockey games or equipment are permitted. Weather conditions will determine when the rink is ready to be opened, stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates. Thank you to the many volunteers who stepped up to build the rink and who will remain committed to maintaining the surface through the season.

LITTLE FREE LIBRARY
Take a Book Leave a Book – Chaparral’s Little Free Libraries
The concept is simple: you leave a book or two that you don’t need any more and then borrow books that your neighbours have left. It’s a terrific way to not only encourage reading but to also get them out and about in the neighbourhood. Check one out. If you have a little free library added to our directory, please contact [email protected]
