No experience necessary… training and all supplies provided. Sign up using the form below. (Bonus: Once you’re on the list, you’ll get notices for our social events.)

The Sorauren Rink is a natural ice rink built and maintained by volunteer crews, on the baseball diamond with two pads, one for shinny and one for pleasure skating.

Because it’s natural ice, the season is dependent on Mother Nature. Crews flood every night at 9 p.m. as long as it’s cold enough. We typically need a week of consistent below-zero weather to begin flooding. Follow our home page, or follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @SoraurenPark, for rink updates and status.

Thanks to Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation for providing the permit, scrapers and water supply. Thanks to our sponsors for supporting costs including boards, hose replacement, supplies, signage, volunteer appreciation.
