Skating is great activity for individuals and families. The Township of Wilmot offers year-round skating opportunities at the Wilmot Recreation Complex. Our skating opportunities include: Public Skating, Parent & Tot, as well as Adult and Senior Skates. In the spring and summer we also offer roller skating. For more information on what we have to offer, check out the skating schedules below. To avoid disappointment, please check our cancellation page before leaving home.
If you enjoy skating on an outdoor ice rink, volunteers in the communities of St. Agatha and New Dundee provide outdoor ice rinks for the public to enjoy. The outdoor rinks will be located in Sararas Park in St. Agatha and New Dundee Community Park in New Dundee, weather permitting.
