Ice Safety

Caution should be taken as the rinks are unsupervised
Rinks are free and unscheduled, available for general public use
All rinks have benches, some have nets
Century Meadows has one sensor light which is not set for specific times
St. Pats is a boarded rink with lights that are operational from 4:30pm - 10:30pm every night
Generally,if it hasn’t snowed, the rinks are swept and flooded as time permits. If it does snow, the trails are a higher priority over outdoor rink maintenance.
We only maintain the areas that we create (we do not maintain other areas/sections that have been created by the public and we strongly discourage anyone from doing this due to safety reasons)

If You Fall Through The Ice

1. Stay Calm and Control Your Breathing

Cold shock can cause hyperventilation. Focus on slow breaths.

2. Get Your Arms Onto the Ice

Hold onto the edge to keep your head above water.

3. Kick and Pull Yourself Onto the Ice

Use a strong kicking motion while pulling with your arms to slide your body onto the surface.

4. Roll Away From the Opening

Do not stand up immediately. Roll or crawl toward shore to distribute your weight.

5. Get Warm and Call for Help

Once safe, seek medical care—cold exposure symptoms can worsen quickly.

If Someone Else Falls Through

Call 911 immediately.
From a safe distance, encourage the person to move back toward the spot where they entered the ice, since that area has already supported their weight.
Tell them to get their forearms onto the ice edge and kick their legs to help lift their upper body onto the surface.
Once their chest is on the ice, instruct them to roll away from the hole to distribute their weight and reduce the chance of breaking through again.
Continue speaking to them and monitoring their condition until emergency responders arrive.

Keeping Pets Safe

Pets are often the first to wander onto unsafe ice. To protect them:

Ensure your dog or pet obeys your voice commands before going near a body of water
Keep dogs leashed if walking near stormwater ponds, especially during fall and spring freeze-thaw cycles (typically between November to December and March to April)
Do not allow pets to run onto snow-covered or frozen pond surfaces.
If a pet breaks through the ice, do not follow them onto the pond. Call 911.
Consider using reflective collars or lights during winter so pets are easier to monitor at dusk.
