Muskoseepi Pond among several other outdoor rinks closed due to warm weather

The City has closed numerous skating rinks and ponds throughout Grande Prairie as a result of the recent warm weather.

On February 28th, the City made the decision to close several outdoor rinks “until further notice” as ice conditions have become unsafe. Hockey nets have been, or are in the process of being removed, and officials maintain rinks will remain closed as long as temperatures remain above freezing.

Muskoseepi Pond remained open with a rough ice surface over the weekend; however, on March 3rd, the city came to the decision to close the pond for skating.

According to the city, the warm weather has significantly deteriorated the surface, and ice has begun thinning near the steps.

Grande Prairie’s forecast includes well below-freezing temperatures and snowy conditions for most of the beginning of next week, and the city says an update will be provided if the rinks reopen.
