The Oakview Woods outdoor rink is open for the season.
Residents and visitors can use the rink, at 1724 Mosley Street, beside the RecPlex, free of charge during regular hours of operation. The rink is for pleasure skating only. Due to the pandemic, the town is not allowing shinny or rental of the ice this season.
The rink is open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

- Face coverings are required in all areas except the ice surface
In addition, the town is allowing a maximum of 25 people on the ice surface at any one time. Skating times will rotate between Group A and Group B on an hourly basis.
