Public Skating

Physical activity and recreation are important to the health of our community, particularly in the winter months. Starting in September 2024, Public Skating and Kids, Caregivers and Senior Skates are offered at the Zurich and Hensall Arenas.

Public skating dates are advertised on Bluewater’s social media pages. Download the schedule. 

Please note:

• Parental supervision is required for patrons under 12 years of age.

Sponsor a skate!

We welcome sponsorship of public skates from individuals, businesses and organizations. Public skating is offered to the public at a cost of $2 per person or $5 per family, but your generous sponsorship would allow these skating sessions to be offered to the public free of charge. Sponsoring a public skate not only provides your business/organization with advertising at the event and on municipal social media pages, but it also contributes to the wellbeing of our community.

If you would like to sponsor a public skating date, please email the Recreation Coordinator.
