Recreational pond use – ice thickness testing complete
December 23, 2024 - 9:00am
The Saskatoon Fire Department has completed ice thickness testing at storm water retention ponds around the City. The ice must reach a minimum thickness of at least eight inches to be considered safe for public recreational use. All recreational ponds have surpassed the minimum required thickness. Signage has been updated accordingly at each pond.
Residents are reminded to check the posted signage each time they consider using the pond. If the sign displays a green “Skating Permitted” icon, the ice has been confirmed safe to use. Community members who use the ponds for recreational purposes assume all risk and maintenance responsibilities for the ice including shoveling, flooding, as well as user safety.
Only select storm water ponds are designated for recreational use. Please visit saskatoon.ca/ponds for a list of ponds permitting winter recreational use.
