Westgate Community Skating Rinks

As of January 1st, 2026 flooding of the ice is on hold until further notice in compliance with the water restrictions in place for the City of Calgary.

For the duration of the 2025-2026 Winter season, the Westgate Community Association is home to two outdoor ice rinks! Our dedicated Rink Crew volunteers have been busy flooding the ice and maintaining it for the enjoyment of our community. Both the Hockey rink and the pleasure rink have lighting on until 9pm and are open for public. Proper equipment, including helmets, is recommended.

What to know about Westgate’s two rinks:

Hockey Rink – located on the west side of the hall 

• Classic hockey rink with full boards and moveable nets
• Rink lights on until 9pm
• Rubber mats on hall side of the rink
• Benches near hall side entrance of rink
• Shovel available by the rink for quick snow clears

• After winter the rink transitions into our Pickleball courts.
