The Rosedale Community Association outdoor rink, also known as The ODR, is a beloved winter destination in Calgary. The volunteers at the Rosedale Community Association work tirelessly to ensure the rink is set up in October and taken down in April each year, providing a fun and safe environment for all visitors.
The rink is open for community members to enjoy, with a few rules in place to ensure everyone has a great time. These rules include prioritizing children on the ice, respecting reserved times for Grassroots Hockey or community events, and cleaning up after yourself by shoveling snow when you're done. The rink relies on the dedication of volunteers, and visitors are asked to respect their requests to leave the ice for maintenance.
Visitors to the Rosedale Community Association outdoor rink are encouraged to act responsibly, be considerate of noise levels, and dispose of garbage and recycling in the provided bins. With the rink being a volunteer-maintained facility, visitors are advised that they use the facilities at their own risk. The rink is a place for community members to come together, have fun, and create lasting memories in a welcoming environment.

The Rosedale Community Association outdoor rink is a testament to the community spirit and dedication of its volunteers, providing a safe and enjoyable winter activity for all to enjoy.
