The Riley Family Duck Pond will open for skating January 6, 2023. 

The Riley Family Duck Pond is located in the heart of Assiniboine Park. During the winter months, the Duck Pond becomes an outdoor skating rink and popular place to enjoy the wonders of winter. The Duck Pond is surrounded by beautiful light displays so you can enjoy skating under the stars.

Hockey sticks and pucks are not permitted on the duck pond. We do not offer skate rentals. Please stay off the ice when plowing and flooding is underway.

The duck pond shelter will be open daily from 7:00 am – 10:00 pm, providing washroom access and a place for skaters to warm up.
