The speed skating oval has just opened for the season! If you’ve never checked it out , it’s a 400m outdoor speed skating track which offers free public skating and the opportunity to rent speed skates if you wish to try them out. There is a warm up hut with a wood stove and portapotty facilities. Rental price for skates was $5 (cash only) last year. The oval is open to the public tomorrow from 11:00 to 3:00. I plan to be there when it opens at 11:00 tomorrow and skate for maybe a couple of hours or so. I’d advise bringing a drink and snacks if you plan to stay a while. If anyone wants to, we can always visit a local spot for hot chocolate afterwards. It’s a bit of a drive so if you’re interested in car pooling please indicate so in the comment section.
Date: Sunday, January 8th
Time: 11:00
Place: Lakefield Speed Skating Oval, 2 Queen Street, Lakefield (beside the water tower)
I’ll be there! I’m leaving from Cobourg if anyone wants to car pool.
I’ll be going through Hastings if anyone wants to meet at the parking lot beside Banjos to car pool from there
