All Township outdoor rinks are made and maintained by volunteers in the community. Therefore, outdoor rinks are dependent on their schedule and time to make and maintain the ice. The Township provides equipment to the volunteers to assist, such as hoses, nozzles, and shovels.
We want to recognize and thank our many volunteers throughout the Township who have generously given their time to help build and maintain our outdoor skating rinks.
The following outdoor skating rinks are now open thanks to our dedicated community volunteers! A few rinks are also in progress, once open, this list will be updated - stay tuned!

PLEASE STAY OFF STORMWATER FACILITIES. THEY'RE NOT SAFE FOR ANY USE.
- Stormwater ponds are designed to prevent flooding, erosion and improve the quality of water before it is gradually released back into the nearest stream or river.
- Please take caution around all bodies of water and remind children to not play in the area.
- Water may include road salt and other contaminants that affect ice quality.
- Stay off of any stormwater pond as they are not safe for use. The ponds may look safe, but it's what's below the surface that makes them different from regular ponds. As a result, water flow and water levels can fluctuate quickly without warning.
