The Forks’ Outdoor Skating Rinks

Whether you want to glide across the Centennial River Trail or explore the Arctic Glacier Winter Park, you can, and your family can have a fantastic adventure at the Forks!

At Arctic Glacier Winter Park, skate on over a full kilometre of groomed skating trail along magically lit paths to the CN rink. Take a twirl under The Canopy, glide under the lights on the Historic Rail Bridge or simply walk the site and take in the thousands of beautiful lights along the way.

Bring your toboggan and slide down any of the hills on site. Look for the Ai Wei Wei Forever Bicycles Sculpture (made of 1254 bikes) for a great backdrop to your sledding. Stop and take a selfie under the archway in the Prarie Garden. It’s on the most photographed places on the site. The Canopy rink near The Forks Market is a perfect place for beginners.

Listen at CN Stage and The Canopy rink for special playlists made just for us by Manitoba Music.

The Winnipeg Foundation Centennial River Trail is about getting outside safely and enjoying the best season in Winnipeg, winter.
