“We opened the unrefrigerated outdoor rinks on January 14, which is later than usual. Then there were only two closures of four days each due to warmer temperatures, but they stayed in good shape,” said Bill Linnen, director of public works.
All natural ice rinks are now closed and the closing of the rink in the Square on Sunday will officially end Kingston’s outdoor skating season.
