Unseasonably warm temperatures throughout January and February have created unsafe ice conditions at Hinton’s outdoor rinks that are extremely challenging for our Parks crew keep up with.

To this end, the Town will no longer be maintaining the Pretzel, and the boarded rink at Erith Park will remain closed for the rest of the season. This will allow our crew to focus their efforts on the three other Town-maintained rinks, at Erith Park (unboarded), Kinsmen Park, and Mary Reimer Park.

If continuing to use the Pretzel, please note this is an unsupervised, unmaintained area. Please use extreme caution and use the area with respect: Clean up after yourselves, and ensure any fires are in designated fire pits and extinguished when you leave.

Thank you for your understanding.

It's National Pizza Day!! We know how much everyone in Hinton love how many pizza shops we have. But here's the important question, where should we go and what pizza should we order?

Ever since I was a child, I have LOVED using pencil crayons. However, one thing always bothered me. Whenever I used my crayola pencil crayons, It felt impossible to get my art to have a saturated and smooth look. I knew it was achievable with pencil crayons, but I didn't know how...

Fast forward to today and I am proud to say that I have leveled up my colouring game, and now I'm going to help you level up to! In this exciting two-part course, I am going to teach you all that I know about pencil crayons.

Through a series of focused instruction and practice exercises, you will learn the skills you need to colour like a pro!

The Pretzel is now open for the season!

The Pretzel is a 600-metre ice track nestled among the trees in the Hinton Campground, located next to the playground at the Hinton Centre on Switzer Drive.

Here is some important information about the Pretzel:
⛸ Open as long as weather conditions allow
⛸ Free to use
⛸ Area is for skating only; please do not walk on the track
⛸ Picnic tables are available; users are requested to bring own hand sanitizer
⛸ No washrooms are available
⛸ No pets are permitted; this restriction preserves skate track conditions and user safety
⛸ Use at your own risk to self and equipment - tree debris and pebbles could be on the track
⛸ Please wait after fresh snowfalls until the snow is cleared and after new floods (water/soft ice) to use
⛸ Maintenance in this area is a lower priority than sidewalk and other snow clearing needs
⛸ Please be patient after snowfalls and new floods so that the Pretzel surface is not compromised
⛸ Users are asked to park in the playground parking lot;
⛸ Please do not block the campground entry way

Come and check out this magical experience!

Don't forget - in addition to the Pretzel, there are other outdoor skating opportunities including Town-maintained outdoor rinks at Erith Park, Kinsmen Park, and Mary Reimer Park. The second, boarded outdoor rink at Erith Park is next to be installed and should be ready for skating soon.
