No hockey sticks or pucks are allowed on Prestwick Common.
The skating rinks will be flooded when operational capacity allows it and when temperatures are below minus 10 degrees Celsius at the time of flooding. Ice will be made on Prestwick Common and the hockey rink surfaces by our Maintenance Department. *Please remember that this is all dependent on the weather! Inverness and Prestwick Storm Ponds - DO NOT SKATE on these surfaces. "Water levels and flows change rapidly, making skating or other activities extremely dangerous and strictly prohibited." - The City of Calgary, Water Services.
McKenzie Towne has two Storm Water retention ponds (Prestwick and Inverness), which were put in place for community drainage purposes only. There is no access to this area, and no swimming, boating, skating, etc. is allowed. Go here for FAQ on storm drainage systems (City of Calgary). Walkers can leisurely stroll, walk or run along the pathways around the ponds year-round. Snow and ice are removed in the winter for your enjoyment.
