Fort Saskatchewan, home to more than 27,000 people, is a vibrant economic and cultural hub located in Treaty 6 Territory and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, just 15 minutes northeast of Edmonton. The City of Fort Saskatchewan proudly manages recreation, culture and historic amenities including a performing arts theatre and a fitness centre within the Dow Centennial Centre and the historic 1875 – 1885 NWMP Fort Representation in the heart of downtown. Located on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, Fort Saskatchewan boasts more than 80 km of paved trails along with many natural areas for residents to explore. As a City, we believe in diversity and inclusion and are working toward creating a city where all residents are respected and have a sense of belonging.
Storm ponds may look like a nice spot for skating, but they are not designed for recreational use. Storm ponds are used to prevent flooding in our neighbourhoods. During the winter, the constant flow of water under the ice makes ice thickness unpredictable and unstable.
Check out one of our outdoor natural ice rinks including the WRE Skating Loop, boarded rinks, and snowbank rinks.
