The City of Vernon has a new way for you and the family to beat the heat this summer.
Throughout July and August, Recreation Services will be scheduling public skating in the Priest Valley Arena.
“We are excited to be able to offer public skating this summer, especially since it has been so hot outside,” said Leah Walker, Manager Customer Service. “It is like a little taste of winter in the middle of summer.”
Residents and visitors are encouraged to check Vernon Recreation Services’ social media channels or the website, for daily updates before visiting the rink. To learn more about skating in Vernon and to see the updated schedule, please visit Gvrec.ca.
Registration can be completed online or in person at the Vernon Recreation Centre. And as always, shinny hockey is being offered throughout the summer as well.
While helmets are strongly recommended for all skaters, users are reminded that helmets are mandatory for skaters 10 years and under, as well as for ALL shinny players. All shinny players under 18 years of age also need to have a parent or guardian agree to the waiver, either online or at the front desk of the Vernon Recreation Centre.
Please note: Skate or equipment rentals are not available at this time.
