Service levels during the Olympic and Paralympic Games
As a partner with the City of Vancouver, the Park Board has made a strong commitment to achieving a successful 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games by providing staff for enhanced operations that support Olympic and Paralympic activities. Many permitting staff will be part of the Host City Team and our services, while continuing during the games period, will be affected.

There will be delays processing applications for Special Events and Filming, Weddings, Ice Rinks, Commercial Recreation, Picnics and Field Sports leading up to and during the 2010 Winter Games.

Please visit the 2010 Impacts section for more information.

There are eight ice rinks throughout the city, some of which offer year-round skating. A complete range of skating programs, special seasonal events and rental opportunities are available at affordable rates.
