Waterfront Skating at Sherbourne Common

The skating rink, which doubles as a splash pad in the summer, is an important recreational amenity in East Bayfront. Designed as an outdoor neighbourhood facility, a seating wall surrounds the eastern and western edge of the rink to give people ample space to lace up. Located within the south side of the park, the 920 square metre skating rink features views of Lake Ontario and the downtown skyline.

The Sherbourne Common ice rink is one of 53 operated by the City of Toronto’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department. The skating rink and washrooms in the park’s pavilion are open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 10pm and from 10am to 6pm on Sunday until the season ends.

Sherbourne Common is located at 61 Dockside Drive – south of Queens Quay Boulevard and east of Lower Sherbourne Street. To access the rink by TTC, skaters may take the 6 Bay bus from Union Station or the 75 Sherbourne bus. For motorists, there is  an underground public parking garage at George Brown College and a surface parking lot in front of Corus Quay (at Dockside Drive and Queens Quay Boulevard).
