Guernsey Pond was a very popular destination for the public to skate on for decades in Penticton. This is now where the Abbott Street electrical substation is located.
Penticton previously cancelled (2008) an outdoor public skating rink due to the ongoing operations and maintenance that would be the responsibility of the City.
The new Outdoor Skating Rink opened in March 2022. All maintenance and operations are the responsibility of Activate Penticton Society.
