Welcome to the 2024 rink season at Flavelle Park! Everyone is welcome to use the rinks, which are set up and maintained by a dedicated crew of volunteers and funded by the community association and the City of Calgary.
Here are a few reminders so everyone can enjoy the skating experience.
1. Follow all posted rules and regulations. Pay attention to any signs or notices posted at the rink and follow them accordingly. These rules are in place to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all skaters.
2. Wear appropriate attire. Dress warmly and wear appropriate clothing for skating, including gloves, hats, and warm socks. It is also recommended to wear a helmet for added safety, especially for children.
3. Keep a safe distance from other skaters. Maintain a safe distance from other skaters to prevent accidents and collisions. Be aware of your surroundings and be considerate of other skaters’ space.
4. Use the right ice rink. The smaller rink is for beginner skaters, and the larger for more experienced ones. You are welcome to use both, but please be aware of who is on the ice with you for safety and a fun experience.
5. No rough play or excessive speed. Avoid engaging in rough play or skating at excessive speeds that may endanger yourself or others. Skating should be done in a controlled and safe manner.
6. No food or drinks on the ice. Do not bring food or drinks onto the ice surface. This helps to keep the ice clean and prevents accidents caused by spills.
7. No smoking or alcohol. Outdoor skating rinks are typically smoke-free and alcohol-free zones. Smoking and consuming alcohol are not permitted.
8. The fire pit is available for all to use. Please clean up the space after you are done, or the next day if it gets too late in the evening. Follow the fire pit safety rules.
9. Report any hazards or maintenance issues. If you notice any hazards or maintenance issues, such as uneven ice or broken boards, report them to [email protected].
10. Respect the rink and its surroundings. Treat the outdoor skating rink with respect. Do not litter, vandalize, or damage any property. Keep the area clean and enjoyable for everyone.
If you have concerns or questions, or see damage or unsafe conditions, please reach out to our Rink Master at [email protected].
