North Central Outdoor Skating Rinks

Friday, December 14th, 2012

Many community outdoor rinks are starting to open for the season for both shinny/hocky and pleasure skating!

Sandarac Rink (99 Sandstone Drive) is open until 10 (wiht lights from 5-10) every night except when flooding is taking place- then it closes at 9pm.   There is a boarded rink and pleasure rink.

Hidden Valley (Hidden Hut- Hidden Valley Drive)  Boarded and lit rink.  Skating. daily unless Hidden  Valley outdoor hocky league is playing a game (usually every Wednesday evening and Saturday morning).

Harvest Hills Pleasure Rink (South end of Harvest Hills Lake at the west end of Harvest Lake Dr) There are no lights here.

Panorama Hills Pleasure Rink (Panamount Sq off Panamoutn BV- just across from St Jerome School). The City has agreed to help get a pleasure rink up and running this winter after installing winter water surface for flooding the ice. With the help of volunteers from Coventry and area this will be the Northern Hills second outdoor rink!

The next steps is to consider a site for winter water installation in Coventry Hills!   The costs are high but response from residents show there is need and desire. If you would like to help look at and evaluate potential sites for this rink, please contact community@northernhills.ab.ca

At this time there are no outdoor skating rinks or pleasure rinks in Evanston, Kincora, Sherwood, or Sage Hill.

 

 

Shaganappi Trail North Extension Underway

Shaganappi Trail NW Extension

Kinwood Communities, as part of its develpment requirements for the next phase of Sherwood, will be building four lanes on Shaganappi Trail from where it currently ends, just north of Stoney Trail, to approximately 200 metres north of Sherwood Gate.

Genesis Land Development Corporation is planning to build the two east lanes from that point north to Sage Hill Boulevard 2011/2012 providing an alternate access route for the communities of  Sage Hill, Kincora and Evanston.

The existing temporary access off Shaganappi Trail into Sherwood may be closed to public traffic once Shaganappi Trail is extended past this point.  It will remain open as an emergency access only until 2012 when the permanent access into Sherwood via Sherwood Gate/Sherwood Boulevard is provided.
