The Town of Quispamsis, New Brunswick, has officially closed the outdoor ice rink at the Arts and Culture Park for the 2026 season. Warming temperatures and poor ice conditions have made it impossible to keep the rink safe for skaters on the park’s cement pad.
This closure signals the end of winter programming at the site as the community begins to transition toward spring activities. The outdoor rink is a seasonal facility that typically stays open from November until March, depending on local weather patterns.
While outdoor skating is finished for the year, residents can still find indoor public skating opportunities at the qplex. The town continues to offer these indoor options for families and sports enthusiasts who want to keep skating as the seasons change.
The park will now prepare to host warm-weather community events like music and movies. Residents are reminded that the ice surface is no longer maintained and the cement pad is closed for skating until next winter.
