The skating rink is closed for the season. It will reopen in December.
Is there a better way to run our neighbourhood parks?

Campbell's clubhouse has a kitchen
In spring 2011 city workers made some changes to Campbell's clubhouse. The office, which is also used as a kitchen and skate rental centre, got an electrical upgrade. This means park staff can finally use the donated stove that has been sitting idle until now. The office also got new sinks, which will make cleaning dishes much easier. This past winter the improvements allowed rink staff to offer skaters an expanded menu for the snackbar including warm chili, minipizzas and cookies baked fresh at the park.
