Colonel Sam Smith Skating Trail

Samuel Smith Park Skating Trail
 
We thought the warmer weather to start the season would hinder the number of views we get from people searching for our outdoor skating trail but nothing can be further from the truth. The outdoor skating trail located at Colonel Sam Smith Park in Etobicoke is constantly at the number one list during the Winter season and for good reason. There is nothing more enjoyable than skating the trail with friends and family and then stopping somewhere for hot chocolate afterwards.
