C-

19 Castlegrove Blvd

416-395-6667

Strengths: : Very fine community centre attached to rink. Has its own zamboni, new rink, very good condition, good ice maintenance


Areas for improvement: This rink lost most of its points for its poor access to the public – minimal public skating hours. It also fell down on convenience – no benches for parents to sit and watch their kids, either outside or in change-rooms (no windows to look out of!)


Next steps: Open the rink to the public at all non-permit times. Bring non-supervision rules in line with the rest of the city. Switch the office and the change-rooms so that skaters have a window looking to the rink. Add more benches, and do a weekly family-skate event.
