One of our favourite Metro Vancouver outdoor rinks will soon return for a new winter season. The City of North Vancouver’s free Shipyards Skate Plaza is welcoming skaters starting on Saturday, November 30. Until March 2025, skaters of all ages can glide on the approximately 12,000 sq ft surface daily from noon to 8 pm. And fun can be had no matter the weather – the Shipyards Skate Plaza is covered by a retractable roof. City of North Vancouver Skaters can either bring their own skates or rent a pair onsite, although quantities are limited. Helmets and skating aids are free, with the former being mandatory for skaters under the age of 12. Figure skating and hockey are not permitted at the rink. Skaters are also encouraged to avoid crowds during peak hours, which are weekday evenings and weekends. The Skate Plaza’s rink capacity is 300 skaters, and ice time is available on a first-come, first-served basis. City of North Vancouver The Skate Plaza will be closed twice daily for maintenance at 3 and 5:30 pm for 30 minutes. And for more seasonal fun, head down to The Shipyards Christmas Market launching on November 29 and running through to December 24. With dozens of artisan stalls, food vendors, and live performers, as well as visits with Santa, and more, it is shaping up to be everything we’ve asked for on our wish list.
