For the safety of the rink and to preserve the ice for future use, we have decided to close the rink until temperatures drop sufficiently to allow the surface to freeze.
We appreciate your understanding and patience.
Thank you for your continued support. — Discovery Ridge Rink Crew
For more than 10 years, the Discovery Ridge Stampede Round Up has brought neighbours together to celebrate community, connection, and a little Stampede spirit. Planning for the 2026 event is getting underway, and we’re excited for another great year.
These events wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing sponsors. We are grateful to Kristin Mould of Kristin Mould Boutique Real Estate, CIR Realty, who has been our Title Sponsor for the past four years. As she shifts her business focus, Kristin will be stepping back from sponsorship in 2026—and we thank her sincerely for her incredible support.
We’re now inviting new sponsors to be part of the 2026 Stampede Round Up. If you’re a local business—or know one that would love to support this much-loved community event—we’d be happy to connect. Please reach out to us at events@discoveryridge.com.

The extended period of above-freezing temperatures, combined with a lack of available water for flooding over the past week (or longer), has created conditions that could damage the ice surface if we remain open.
For the safety of the rink and to preserve the ice for future use, we will remain closed until weather conditions improve and proper flooding can resume.
We appreciate your understanding and patience and will provide updates as soon as reopening becomes possible.
Thank you for your continued support.

Due to a recent water main break, the City of Calgary has asked that flooding of outdoor rinks cease immediately while repairs are underway.
Our amazing rink crews are doing their very best to keep the rinks open for the enjoyment of all Discovery Ridge residents. They will continue to shovel and sweep the ice surfaces to maintain them as safely and effectively as possible. To help protect the ice, rink hours may be reduced, and you may notice the lights turning off earlier than usual during the water restrictions.
Thank you for your patience and understanding — we truly appreciate our community support.
Help support the DRCA by dropping your refundables in the C-Can located in the gravel parking lot along Discovery Ridge Blvd, next to the recreation facility and soccer fields.

Did you hear? Santa stopped by Wonder Donuts last Sunday and enjoyed a jolly afternoon, visiting with about 70 of Discovery Ridge’s youngest residents!
We were thrilled to welcome Santa as he took the time to chat with each child, spreading holiday merriment one smile at a time. With the help of his trusty assistant, things ran smoothly—and every child went home with a festive treat bag to top off the experience.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this magical afternoon so special. A special shout-out to the team at Wonder Donuts, who graciously lent their space and ensured there were plenty of donuts for every attendee to enjoy—each one complimentary and sponsored by the DRCA. We also extend our thanks to Shelley Munnings of CIR Realty, who brought extra joy and sparkle to the event as Santa’s helper.
Moments like these are what make our community shine.
