Ice Skating is back on at Nathan Phillips Square
Now that snowfall is occuring here in Toronto and the weather is getting reasonably cold (although we haven’t had snow fall since the first snowfall earlier last week), the famous ice rink in Nathan Phillips Square in front of city hall is open for business once again. This is an ice rink that I remember going to and skating on year after year when I was a kid and on any given day you’ll see Torontonians having a great time with friends and family as they skate around the partially natural, partially man-made ice rink that covers the square during the winter months.
Weather permitting, the rink itself will usually stay open 12 hours a day from 10 in the morning to 10 at night, although with the milder weather we’ve been having so far this year those hours are probably not going to become regular until December comes and brings regular snowfall with it. More information about what the operating hours are going to be can be found by calling ahead at 416-338-RINK and asking what the hours are that day before you suit up and prepare to head out with the family.
In addition to being a great place for people to go and skate during the winter, Nathan Phillips Square is filled with the history of not only the City of Toronto, but also of Toronto’s interactions with the rest of the world. That, however, is a story for another time.
