Every winter, as weather permits, select parks across London become home to Neighbourhood-Managed Ice Rinks that provide residents an opportunity to enjoy outdoor skating in their local community. Rinks are built, operated, and maintained by dedicated community volunteers who donate their time to provide a family-friendly recreation activity for their community. Neighbourhood-Managed Ice Rinks are generally open between January to March, as weather allows. These rinks are natural, meaning freezing of the ice occurs from cold temperatures as opposed to artificial ice rinks which are refrigerated and mechanically frozen.
The City of London is thrilled to announce the Neighbourhood-Managed Outdoor Ice Rink locations for the 2024-2025 winter season! These beloved community hubs are perfect for skating and meeting fellow neighbours.
Volunteer-run and weather dependent
Our neighbourhood-managed ice rinks are made possible through the dedication of local volunteers. These rinks rely on freezing temperatures—there’s no refrigeration system—so their availability may vary with the weather. Regular maintenance, like flooding and clearing the ice, is done by community volunteers.

Neighbourhood-Managed Ice Rinks guide
The Neighbourhood-Managed Ice Rinks guide outlines administrative and operational procedures regarding neighbourhood-managed ice rinks formed and maintained on City property by residents.
The procedures are meant to assist residents and groups in providing public skating opportunities in their neighbourhoods where such initiatives enhance recreational opportunities and are consistent with the interests of the City of London. Through these procedures, we want to assist residents in providing ice rinks that maximize positive experiences and usage for skaters, volunteers and the City of London.
