BURLINGTON, ON
This pretty well makes it official – winter is either here or really close.
The Rotary Centennial pond will open on Saturday, Dec. 13, for the 2014/15 skating season, weather permitting.
The pond overlooks Lake Ontario and is a great way to get active and enjoy Burlington’s waterfront.
There is no admission – the skating is free on a pond that opened in 2006. Approximately 7,000 skaters use the pond each season. The pond is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with patrollers working on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on weekdays from 5 to 10 p.m.
The holiday schedule is:
• Dec. 24: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Dec. 25: Closed
• Dec. 31: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Jan. 1: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Skates must be worn on the ice and children six years and under must wear a CSA-approved helmet.
