Queen’s Athletic Field opening their skating oval right before Christmas is the type of good news Greater Sudbury residents need. The skating oval which is a popular hit for residents of the city opens today and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

Greater Sudbury put out a tweet this afternoon saying that the skating oval will be open for the season starting at 4 p.m. today, December 23, 2021. This great outdoor activity should be taken advantage of before Public Health Sudbury & Districts finds a reason to shut the outdoor exercise and entertainment venue down.
