Great Skate #16 - Nathan Phillips Square
Winter returned to Toronto this past weekend, but I didn't make it out to skate until Monday night. And then the wind was so bitter that I almost quit before I started. But missing a Great Skate two weeks in a row would not be good, so after work I headed out to the rink at Nathan Phillips Square.
Great Skate #13: Harbourfront Centre in Toronto
Great Skate #4: Mel Lastman Square in Toronto
Great Skate #38: Wallace Emerson Park in Toronto
I chose this rink because it's easy to get to, it wasn't booked for shinny, and there were sure to be other people around. (If you're going to skate in circles by yourself, it's nice to do it in a crowd.)
It always surprises me how many people are around wherever you go in the city, even when there's a severe windchill factor. There were a few dozen skaters at Nathan Phillips Square just after 6pm last night. Bundled in layers of winter gear, really wishing I hadn't left my hat behind on a streetcar earlier this week, I wanted to ask them all, what are you doing out here?
The answer of course is that they were having fun, skating. And I was too.

The rink at Nathan Phillips Square includes pretty lights, music and a backdrop of tall buildings.Read More Great Skates |
