The Manor Park Community Council (MPCC) operates two outdoor skating surfaces: high-boarded, night-lit hockey rink, and pleasure skating puddle. Manor Park outdoor rinks have a reputation for their ice quality and high volume of skaters. Many programs, including skating lessons and the community Skating Party take place on the rinks. To maintain this level of excellence the rink relies on paid Rink Attendants.
