Over the Easter weekend it got warm enough to finally weaken the ice slab so that's that. The benches are stowed and good to see the grass again.

We thank the community for getting winter laps in at the oval.

This page remains active and we respond as soon as we can. Make comments about your experiences, share any photos or suggestions for the future.

See you in the Fall when we prep for flooding!

Thank you Smash & Sons Contracting Ltd for brushing the oval!

Skaters, you will have to check out the ice. Probably not a smooth surface because of the types of recent snow and sleet but as temperatures warm, the surface usually self levels a bit.
