Outdoor skating rink set to shut down

Kelowna’s outdoor skating season is quickly coming to an end.

The city announced Tuesday that the Stuart Park rink will close on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 11 a.m. as the warmer temperatures have made it more difficult to maintain.

“We typically like to give more notice about the rink wrapping up for the season, but sometimes it’s just not possible,” Steve Hebden, Recreation Facility Operations Supervisor, said. “It’s been an excellent season of skating down at the rink, but we are at the point where we need to close the ice surface.”
