## Caption

The Eau Claire lagoon is open for ice skating 🎉 Also there's a bunch of Christmasy lights beside it.

• The *entire* canal is open for skating this year, not just the ice down towards the lagoon / east end. From Jaipur Bridge to the Peace Bridge.

• There is a public washroom on Prince's Island, under River Cafe.

• Taking the train? Get off at 1st or 4th street station and walk north towards the river, pretty hard to miss. Put "Eau Claire Plaza" in Google Maps.

• There are fire pits

• Use at your own risk, no staff on site

• You will be able to rent ice skates but the rental shack is not open yet. Watch Eau Claire Community Association for details about that coming soon.

• Bring your own skates if you have them of course

Also, free skate rentals every week 🤠 see below

Via Calgary Parks  👇 *
