Notes
This rink is a hidden jewel!
It's a beautifully designed, sunken rink in the round just off Yonge Street, behind offices and shopping, with landscaping around it. One of the last rinks to be built during the tenure of visionary Parks Commissioner Herb Pirk, this rink was mothballed all winter in 2002 because of a minor problem in the cooling system. Nobody complained! Very few people use the rink despite its proximity to Ryerson University and some major hotels. It's an orphan, waiting for adoption.
Rink Diary 2009 - 2010
Wednesday Dec.30 2009, e-mail to cityrinks.ca from A.C.
More and more people are playing hockey at the College Park rink after midnight and the hockey slapstick noise creates a loud echo effect.
This is causing a disturbance, particularly for those who sleep prior to midnight.
Are there official operating hours?
Who can be called to notify midnight hockey players that there are official operating hours for this rink?
