Charleswood's Winter Wonderland
There's still lots of winter left to come and enjoy all that Roblin Park has to offer! We have three outdoor rinks, plus a fourth "pond rink" and a large, meandering skating loop. As well, two toboggan runs and pre-school sized "snow mountains" will keep the whole family thrilled. We even provide the crazy carpets.
Our facilities are open weekdays 4:30 pm - 10 pm and weekends 10 am - 6 pm, weather permitting. Conditions are excellent, even with the lack of snow.
Come watch the TSN Jets channel on the new big screen TV in the skate change area and enjoy free wi-fi internet access. |
