I consider the Oval the greatest gift to Halifax. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Skating is free, and there are free skate rentals. People love using it and it allows anyone to come and skate. In the non-winter months, you can also use it to roller skate, roller blade, or even cycle on the track. Great facilities, lots of benches, and maintained really well.

This is a wonderful place to go skating in the winter time. It's pleasant to bring your family to here no matter their skating shoes are ready or not. There are skating shoes to lend, and you can change your skating shoes just out of the Emera Oval on the benches nearby without worries about damaging your skating shoes. In addition, there is a public washroom in the building which lends skater shoes. It's quite fast to reach there for skaters. Overall, the Emera Oval is an ideal place for skaters and hockey players in winter, especially at night after the opening time.
