Dufferin Grove Park Rink

Dufferin Grove is the west-end community rink people mean when they say “the park rink”: 875 Dufferin Street, across from Dufferin Mall, two pads that have long split pleasure skating and shinny. City drop-in leisure skate and shinny are free; helmets are required for shinny. There is usually no rental kiosk — the Desjardins Skate Lending Library van visits select outdoor rinks through the season (toronto.ca), but do not count on it being here the hour you arrive. Typical season late November to March; closed for summer 2026. First-timers: Dufferin station, mall parking if you must drive, and the park’s own snack-bar culture when it is running. 311.
