NEWS RELEASE
COUNTY OF SIMCOE
*************************
With winter weather in full swing, the County of Simcoe skate trail has made some adjustments to its hours of operations.

We’re excited to announce a new Saturday night time slot for the remainder of the season. Additionally, the skate trail will now be open on Wednesday evenings and closed on Tuesdays. These changes will go into effect on Feb. 1, 2025.

Skaters can access the skate trail through the group entrance of the museum as the remainder of it is closed for renovations and inaccessible to the public. Tickets will be available at the door and online, for same-day use only. Online ticket sales will be open by 9 a.m. on weekends, 4 p.m. on weeknights, and the skate trail itself will be open as weather and trail conditions permit.
