The City of Lloydminster has opened a skateable ice path as part of a pilot project to create new outdoor winter recreation opportunities for local families.
The 750-metre frozen route is located in an open green space on 35 Street and 69 Ave., south of Holy Rosary High School in the Parkview neighbourhood. The path is open to the public and will remain open as long as weather permits.
“After some time in building the ice surface, we’re excited to welcome the community in trying out this new winding and natural feeling skating trail,” said Jordan Newton, Senior Manager, Parks and Green Spaces.
“This is a new feature and a bit of an experiment for the City, so we’re encouraging users to exercise due caution. The path is intended for slow, leisurely skating, and we encourage everyone to wear helmets.”
Sticks and pucks are not permitted. There is no lighting at the site. Personal lighting is recommended for after-dark use.
