So we will only be two topics Pool and staff so lets go! POOL: Alright so right off the bat. my visits. there was a kid who threw up 2 times different times and different days. And that was couple of days after it just opened. now its like what. but the rest of the times. it was good. Its very cold for cold weather. but if hot. it could be amazing. like amazing amazing. in case of babys bathrooms or shower. There are shower rooms that have showers then a dressing room (sometimes its locked sometimes its not) it just depends. but back to the topic there is a bathroom. now A QUICK WARNING. because people are going to need it. if you are a boy. who needs to use the washroom. if you go to the boys shower room and head to the bathroom. there is only one stall. now if you head to the unviersal. there is multiple. and the showers are the same only 4 for all shower rooms. there is a office for FIRST AID and more. STAFF: Now this one is going to be pretty short unlike the pool one. because well there isnt much things to say. some staff are nice some are not. and thats kind what sums it. as there really isnt nothing else to say expect most of the staff are nice. SHOULD YOU GO TO THIS POOL: Yea! Its peaceful sometimes. can get a bit crowed but if you are near mcgregor and want to go do a quick swim. this is your place! - Ethan K.

It was so underwhelming to return today to this facility to cast my advance vote for the upcoming…read more20-Sep Federal Election in my riding. I remember spending 13 days in four different Toronto community centres including this one from 24-Dec-2013 to 04-Jan-2014. The North American event was called the 2013 Toronto Ice Storm locally. So much of this city was impacted by the significant severe winter weather storm that included a crippling blanket of ice that forced Toronto to open up a number of community centres as emergency shelters. I even celebrated my birthday here during a midnight shift, complete with a cake that another volunteer bought and then totally surprised me with! The staff here were terrific, then and now. What great memories about what these functional community centre are when times were really tough, and when I'm only here to freely exercise my democratic right to Vote!

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.

Awesome skating trail! Smaller than I imagined but nevertheless still fun for an hour or two. It is…read morefree and they don't have skate rentals on site. 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.

This is a cozy little ice trial, the shape of an oval. It is about a quarter the size of a hockey…read morerink. The trail is 5 metres wide. An average skater could skate the entire trail in 1-1.5 mins. Unfortunately there are no skate rentals onsite. This trail is part of the park part of College Park (so many P's!). It was officially opened on 2019-12-07. It is the first outdoor skating path in North America to incorporate state-of-the-art carbon dioxide technology in its refrigeration system. This environmentally friendly technology is natural, non-toxic and non-flammable, with no net greenhouse gas effect. They use a zamboni to smoother the ice. There are 2 firepits nearby and 3 ice sculptures. There is an event called Skates and Sounds held on 2020-01-24, 2020-02-07, 2020-02-28 (all Fridays), 5-7pm, where they have a DJ, FREE 1-hour skate rentals, FREE skating frames for young children, free coffee, and free chocolates. I skated on 2020-02-07. It was about 30 years ago that I skated last! It was fun! Having free skate rental and music was a good bonus! During the warm months, it is a walking trail.

I've been an Organizer for an ice skating Group since Jan. 2007, and yesterday I hosted an Event…read morefor my Group at the Barbara Ann Scott Ice Trail. It was my first time skating in more than 3 years and the last time I skated (in Jan. 2020) it was my first visit to this Trail which was also for an Event with my skating Group. The Trail features a relatively warm indoor change room/area with a washroom but no skate rentals are available here. The Trail itself is fairly small and (of course) narrow, and when I started skating yesterday at 1:30 pm both the change room and the Trail were pretty barren. During the next 1 1/2 hours both the change room and Trail gradually became more crowded; shortly after I started skating music began playing through speakers situated around the Trail and as I was putting on my skates in the change room, several people started setting up a table for free skate rentals (subject to availability) with valid ID. Between 2:30 - 2:45 pm the Zamboni came out for ice maintenance; due to the small size of the Trail this only took about 10 - 15 minutes. Afterward I skated around the Trail a couple more times to check how much better the quality of ice was - it was considerably better - then finished shortly before 3 pm. I've skated on a few other outdoor Trails in Toronto over the years: the Colonel Samuel Smith Skating Trail in Etobicoke, the Trail at Evergreen Brick Works and The Bentway Trail underneath The Gardiner; this one is smaller than the Etobicoke Trail, about the same size as The Bentway Trail and larger than The Brickworks Trail and it's now the first Trail I've skated on more than once. With College Park next door and Yonge Street steps away there are no shortage of amenities nearby. The Trail features 'Skates & Sounds' every Friday throughout February, with a different DJ every week and free skate rentals (again, subject to availability) from 5 to 8 pm.

If your thinking of coming to skate this outdoor rink MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!!!…read more 1. You must register online Ajax.ca/skating way before your thinking of coming out for a skate, this can't be a spontaneous idea, keep reading to find out about our horrible excursion this Sunday. We arrived with no reservations. We were placed on a waiting list. I told the nice lady my sons will come collect their bracelets at 5:35pm if there is any no shows of the people that registered. This was at 4pm. I went back home. 2. At 5:40pm my kids call me to inform me that they can't get on the ice because they are not of legal age to sign the waiver. Yes you must sign a waiver for Covid tracing. I get it but why wasn't this told to me when I was there? So I have to leave home get back to the rink to sign the waiver. 3. By the time this was completed, the boys got to skate for 10 min. I'm sure your thinking be great full they even got to skate. However, we left home at 3:30pm the kids waited 1:45 outside. We are now leaving the rink at 6:25pm and they got ten min. of skating. I hope this helps other and you don't have to go through this the next time you decide to go for a skate on an outdoor rink.

This public square is uniquely sandwiched between Scarborough Town Centre to the north and…read moreScarborough Civic Centre to the south. It is named in honour of the first mayor of the Borough of Scarborough. Yes, the pavement is showing decades of wear and tear but generally speaking, the square is maintained. It is wheelchair accessible. There is usually something scheduled throughout the year and visitors can rest at permanent picnic tables/seats to view the whole area including the community use bandstand. Winter is descending on us now. I have my ice skates ready for when the City of Toronto opens the outdoor ice rink located here!

At Albert Campbell Square, which is just outside of Scarborough Town Centre, lies a small skating…read morerink that is open everyday in winter. The rink is supervised on weekends and weekday nights. I particularly like that it is near the ttc station which makes it one of the most convenient skating rinks to access in the Scarborough area. The only downside is that there are no skate rentals for people that don't own skates and sometimes it takes a long while before someone comes out to resurface the ice. In the warmer months, the skating rink turns into a wading pool and is a great place to relax. There is not much free parking around the area as the parking lots are closed off to City of Toronto staff that works at the civic centre. Therefore using the ttc to get here is the best!

This is a cute skating rink that is really close to work and home. The parking lot is huge because…read moreit is shared with a theatre and I believe a community centre.

*** Avoid Skate Sharpening Booth ***…read more The lady who smokes did a terrible job sharpening my new skates. I had to get them re-sharpened at SportChek for $7 (16 and Woodbine) where they had to re-sharpened my blades. The staff was surprised at how terrible they were considering I had purchased them this year. Skate rental is available but I'd recommend just saving up and buying your own (even used in kijiji) skates. I'd be weary on those rental skates given how terrible the lady screwed up my blades. *** Indoor area not available *** Due to the pandemic, the small indoor area is closed off to the public. So you'll need to change your skates outdoors on the wooden benches. Occasionally there is a staff there but this rink is mostly unsupervised. You're not supposed to be figure skating / practicing hockey moves, but no one is there to enforce it. *** Environment *** The stairs to get to the rink are poorly lit. There's currently a Christmas tree at the entrance but the stairs are not lit at all. They need to fix the lamppost or install new lights bc it's dark enough you can't see people when going down the stairs and might hit / step on a kid playing in the area. There are no lockers / storage available so be sure to travel light and leave your bulkier items in the car. No access to heating area or washrooms. The theatre next door may be open but not sure about welcoming guests to use the facility. Best to drive across the plaza to the washrooms at a restaurant like McDonalds. *** Skating Rink *** Rubber floor mats are limited facing the side of the Civic Centre building where the benches are located to change. It would be better if mats were expanded all around the rink along with additional benches. This would help reduce the crowding and close contact of others during this pandemic. Shaped more like an oval than a circle or rectangle, it's a decent size for skating when it's not too busy. I do find the ice to be uneven / dented / marked up even after the zambino has cleaned the ice. During the evenings, lights are available along with dated 2000s music on repeat. I've been coming here for years and it's still the same, so of course I'd be bored of the music. Bring your earphones to keep yourself entertained.

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!

As a box lacrosse arena, it gets the job done, but it would be nice if the rink had turf.
