There’s a new ice rink in Canterbury. Have any of you skated on it?
From what I can tell, they tested it out last year and have decided to open it to the public now. It’s a tennis court which they pour water on. I’m not sure if they groom it or if they just spray more water on to keep it smooth’ish.

The skating map has now been updated with an estimate of the location of the rink (I may have gotten the exact location wrong) … https://slapshot.hellyer.kiwi/off-topic/skating-map/
We’ve played inline hockey on worse courts than that Kyle
