March 7 2013 BREWER OVAL IS CLOSED. 

Please check our Facebook Page for the latest reports and the Volunteer Schedule if you wish to volunteer.

The Brewer Skate Park is a City of Ottawa facility; as such it is available to all. Those interested in getting a good workout on their skates, come and enjoy the best maintained large ice surface in the area. Skaters are welcome to use hockey and figure skates, though playing hockey and skating figures are not allowed on the ice in order to protect the ice surface. 

When using the oval, please use the parking lot to the west of the arena (you will need to come in off Bronson).  Some cars have been parked at the entrance (between the trailer and east of the Brewer Arena) where the tractor/blower/brusher parks as well as where the Zamboni dumps its snow.  These cars block the pathway for the tractor that maintains the oval and rinks and risk being ticketed/towed away in future.

Please park in the arena parking lot - the short walk can be your warm up!

Weather permitting the oval is open from 11am to 10pm each day. On weekdays the oval is supervised from 6pm-10pm. On weekends, the oval is supervised from 11am-10pm. All other hours the oval is unsupervised.

Please note: For competitive and club events, the oval will be unavailable to the public on the following dates/times:

• Tuesday evenings in January - 6:00pm - 9:00pm (Speed Skaters and Long Blades only)
• Saturday, January 26, 2013 - 8:00am - 5:00pm (Provincial Speed Skating Meet)
• Sunday, January 27, 2013    - 8:00am - 5:00pm (Provincial Speed Skating Meet)
