Kitsilano Rink – located near West Broadway and Macdonald St – is part of the Kitsilano War Memorial Community Centre.
The ice rink is open from September to March with skating programs and skate lessons for all ages and abilities. You can rent skates during public skate and lesson times.
From April to August, we remove the ice for dry-floor activities such as ball hockey, in-line hockey, trade shows, and special events.
Register online for skating lessons and sessions
We’re currently offering skating lessons only at Hillcrest and Sunset ice rinks.
Registration for public skating sessions opens three days in advance, and closes 30 minutes before the session starts.
Skating sessions are 45 minutes or one-hour long. Skaters 7 years and younger must be accompanied on the ice by a parent or guardian over the age of 16 years.
Skate and helmet rentals are available for public skating sessions only.
