Status of outdoor rinks

We offer two outdoor skating rinks for public use:

Washago Community Centre (4361 Hamilton Street)

Bass Lake Woodlands Park (1956 Pine Avenue)

Outdoor rinks are weather-dependent and maintained primarily through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. Rink conditions may change based on weather and ice quality.

Current rink status (open or closed) will be posted on our Skating page.

Bass Lake Woodlands Park Design and Plan

Severn has secured the services of GSP Group Inc. to develop a comprehensive Design and Plan for Bass Lake Woodlands Park. This plan will provide a strategic vision to ensure the park meets the evolving recreational needs of our residents.

About Bass Lake Woodlands Park

Bass Lake Woodlands Park is a 0.888-hectare local park located at 1956 Pine Avenue. It is designed to serve residents within a five to ten minute walking distance and act as a neighborhood focal point.

Current park features include:

  • sport court (converted to an ice rink in winter)
  • lighting and small field house
  • beach volleyball court
  • non-accessible pathways
  • open space and woodlands
  • toboggan hill
  • playground

Project objectives

The Bass Lake Woodlands Park Design and Plan will focus on four key objectives.

Needs assessment

GSP Group Inc. will conduct a thorough review of existing park facilities to identify strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities, in consultation with Township staff and the Recreation Master Plan.

We'll engage residents, stakeholders, local organizations, and user groups through surveys, public meetings, and other methods to ensure the plan reflects the community’s priorities.

Our Project Team will develop recommendations for enhancing existing facilities and creating new recreational amenities, which may include:

  • green spaces
  • playgrounds
  • pathways
  • courts and skateparks

The park design will be inclusive and accessible for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, creating an environment where everyone can enjoy recreational activities.

Community engagement

Community engagement opportunities are planned for Spring 2026. Additional details, including how residents can participate, will be released in February 2026.
