I had no idea we had such an awesome roller skating arena. Skateland on the Eastside is fantastic!…read more Roller skates are only $1 to rent and they have a huge area to skate around. Great lighting and party atmosphere. An absolute blast for the family or a birthday party. I was here yesterday for what they call a "Well Rounded People Party" something the East Side Wash Project puts together semi-regularly. It's basically a huge awesome skate party. You pay $5 to get in and then can rent skates for $1. It benefits a great cause and is a fun time all around, even if you're not a huge skater. I've never really skated on roller skates before and while it took some getting used to and I fell a few times, I ended up having a blast. DJ Cutler and a few other DJs were spinning great music and there was even a disco ball. Definitely check this place out if you get a chance and if you see a skate party coming up...attend! It's a great time!

Wow! Awesome rink! So I came here on. Wednesday night (adult…read moreretro night). It was also the start of the annual Borderline Jam which I was unfamiliar with since I'm just getting back into skating again but there were so many incredibly talented skaters it just blew me away! I am just an average rollerblader. I haven't hit a rink in a quarter century until this past week so I can't even remember how to skate backwards but I still go fast and just flying around the rink listening to music on a great sound system with fun lighting was enough to make me happy and get great exercise too! Admission is usually $10 (I had to pay $15 because of the special event). There are skates to rent but I know nothing more as I have my own. There are plenty of lockers and they are a quarter to lock each time (I was busy skating and never opened it again until I left). The key doesn't have a wrist band so make sure you have a pocket or a fanny pack or something to put it in. There is a snack bar with things like pizza, pizza logs, nachos, popcorn, etc. at a fair price. There are also some alcoholic beverages! There's also vending machines with plenty of snacks and drinks. There is an arcade too which I wanted to play but unfortunately almost every game was turned off and no one at the ticket counter - im not sure if it is like that every adult night or just due to the special event but I wanted to play some games! Staff was friendly but so were the people! Everyone that came up to me was just genuinely being nice and inclusive and not being a creep. That really made me feel happy and excited to come back. What I love the most was all shapes sizes ages colors genders styles and skill sets all harmonized as one. Everyone was really enjoying themselves, getting along nicely, if someone is coming around you fast they will make a noise so you know or they may gently touch you for a moment so you know they rounding you so no one falls. It was really a nice venue with wonderful people where you can feel safe and free from all of the silly arguments you see on social media, or rudeness you see out in the wild quite often. Whether your 80 years old and still able to fly around the rink, younger and full of dance moves on skates that make heads turn, average like me, or just starting out and need some help .. and people there will be happy to help you ... this is the place to be! I really look forward to coming here again soon.

The Classic hosts high school & youth hockey teams, free-skate sessions, private parties. Once the weather warms up, the Rink will be converted to an outdoor marketplace. Facilities are immaculately clean, which is a tall order, considering the large members of people coming through the building every day. We took advantage of the Skate rentals, until we knew our boys were committed to learning to skate. At that point, we bought secondhand skates for them. There's a limited snack bar in the skating lodge. If you're craving something more substantial, you're within walking distance from some really great restaurants! I particularly love the second floor which overlooks the ice. It's wonderfully comfortable and cozy, outfitted with huge rocking chairs. Come on down during open hours to support the kids!

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!

Throughout the years, all four of my children have been enrolled in various programs/classes. My three boys all started with the Hockey Skills offering in the Learn to Skate Program. Afterwards they went on and continued with the Learn to Skate program which is geared towards figure skating. This gave them a great base for playing travel and high school hockey. My daughter started in Learn to Skate and went on to private instruction and to eventually teach in the Learn to Skate program. She participated in many competitions and this gave her good experience with handling pressure, gaining confidence, and staying fit. Initially, we had no idea the impact that the Amherst Skating Club would have on our family. Enrolling our kids in Learn to Skate was a great move and helped all my kids stay in shape and become very good skaters. My daughter went on for years and was very active with the club. It was a great experience and feel fortunate to have been enrolled in many of their program offerings.

My first experience was Brewfest, where the wide expanse of the ground floor made it a perfect space for hosting multiple vendors without traffic jams. I came back for the silos, twice. Once they were hosting a chalk festival, allocating enough space in their outdoor half as well. Last year we returned in late October for a haunted story tour. You'll need to bundle up as the silo is not heated for cold nights, but the experience was entertaining and well thought through. Their main building however had excellent temperature control. Last night we attended a concert at the venue. There was ample paid parking (cash only, bring a tenner) and the entrance is clearly marked. They take security seriously with metal detecting and staff by the stage without feeling overbearing. They are there to help keep the fun safe, not be party poopers. They let people crowd surf and mosh, helping them down to avoid potential injury. The tickets were digitally scanned at entry before you hit the cafe. One of our party splurged on buying herself dinner, which she admitted was pricey. Though she did also mention it was very fresh and delicious with higher quality standards than most venues. This may be because you can get dinner here at their restaurant, doubling down as the place to be. My friend said he comes every year to watch Roller Derby as well. I've yet to hear anything bad about this place, which lets me comfortably say I might just have to peruse their event calendar for this little sparkling gem.

The inside was well ventilated and they ended up turning on the indoor fans for circulation which was super nice. They even handed out waters during the show! I was pleased. The weird issue was that people were trying to use the bathroom or call rides after the show and security was kind of rude about kicking everyone out.

If it's been a while (like probably never) then you should head out to Zone One. This isn't just an ordinary skating rink. It has the biggest rink I've ever seen. You can enjoy gliding on this beautiful surface. Zone One is appropriate for large corporate social events as well as group events and just general having a night out. As the name implies, even though it is primarily for adults at night, there is plenty for kids to do. It strikes me as the kind of place you would rent out for a large event yet you won't break the bank. I had a great time, and plan to return soon. On Amherst Street, just east of Main Street, Zone One is a short walk from the Amherst Metro Rail station and is on bus route 32. I saw no impediments for wheel chair access except the doors are manual. There is a rather high curb by the street so be careful. The staff wore masks, as did customers, but the rules are changing. The ventilation is excellent. The place has plenty of room so keeping a safe distance is easy. Because the venue is new, hours may be flexible. Currently closed Mondays and Tuesday, but this could change.

Some of the highlights include a skating trail, skating rink, playground, community garden, off-leash dog park, two baseball diamonds, and a soccer field. I used some of the picnic benches recently to catch up with some friends and just enjoy the outside weather together in these pandemic times. It's a really great public green space where you can enjoy in all seasons. With winter around the corner and the temperature starts to dip down below zero consistently, you can expect to see families at the skating trail and rink (by appointment only) or take runs down the hills on toboggans on the east side of the park.
