The oval is developed each year by community services staff and provides warming shacks, portable washroom facilities, flood lighting, ambient music and fire pits to cook on or warm up around.

Manitoba Hydro’s Power Smart Waterfall of Lights is also lit until 11 p.m. each evening.

Use of the skating oval is free, and unsupervised. Sticks, pucks or pets are not allowed on the ice surface. There are designated parking areas on McGregor Avenue and Hilton Avenue. No public vehicles are allowed in the direct area of the Waterfall of Lights display or the skating oval.
