Harbourfront Centre Rink (formerly known as the Natrel…read moreRink) Once was a five star rink!!! That was before it was closed and moved. The Harbourfront Ice Skating Rink may be back but it's a mere shadow of its former self and is a completely unremarkable venue now. I had planned to skate there but when I saw where they had moved the rink and the awful condition of the ice, I was flabbergasted and changed my mind!! Everything that made the original rink unique and special was gone!! When you came to the Natrel rink you could enjoy skating around the freeform sunken edged rink all while taking in a marvellous, unobstructed view of Lake Ontario. The ice was always one of the best outdoor ice surfaces to skate on in the city as well. It was always very well maintained and a great surface for outdoor skating. Unfortunately it is now just a poor quality rectangular ice pad with a view of the underside of the highway and buildings. Oh sure they have put some lights up on the thin tree trunks to try and make it look better but it still falls short. For me the experience is ruined forever. (Unless they decide to put the rink back where it was and maintain it better). It's sad that they didn't put more thought into what actually made the rink unique in the first place and what made it a great place to skate. I had been anxiously awaiting its reopening but was sorely disappointed to see what it has become. It is comdevoid of any previous charm and is no longer a good skating venue. I will not be back!

I love this skating rink. So beautiful. Once of my favourites. Perfect place for a dateread more

I visited Dave Andreychuk Arena for game 3 of the Hamilton Bengals opening round playoff series…read moreagainst Owen Sound. As a box lacrosse arena, it gets the job done, but it would be nice if the rink had turf. Otherwise, it was a good venue, the sightlines were good and concessions were good as well with reasonable prices. Admission ($10) was a good price for an evening of entertainment, and it was an enjoyable way to spend the evening. I look forward to coming back for another game next season.

This is a really cute skate trail that's actually in the GTA! There are others in Muskoka and such,…read morebut those are such a trek. This one is also conveniently located by the Tom Graham Arena so there are facilities and parking nearby. They had an art show the day we were going so the lot was quite full on the side closest to he community center but there was still a lot of parking spots farther on. The skate trail actually has a little dedicated area for changing that's indoors or they have tables and benches outside (fingers might get cold!). It's a trail through some trees that kind of loops around so it's a lot more interesting than going around in circles. They play music as well to add to the liveliness.

Come in the mornings when there are less people. Many families come here with smaller children who are trying to learn too. There are no borders around the trail so be careful of skating off trail. Plenty of parking, and the Zamboni comes every 1.5hr or so.
