The Offline Collective - Victoria Park Oval Skating

Winter in Edmonton doesn’t need to be survived — it can actually be enjoyed. Join the Offline Collective, presented by YEG Thrive, for a laid-back afternoon of outdoor skating at the Victoria Park Oval.

This isn’t a lesson. It’s not a race. It’s not competitive (unless you’re quietly competing with yourself from 1998). It’s simply a chance to move your body, breathe some fresh winter air, and spend time with good people — offline, together.

Come skate a few laps, warm up between rounds, chat with familiar faces, and meet some new ones. Whether you’re a confident skater or someone who mostly excels at the graceful glide-along-the-boards, you’re very welcome here.

What to expect:

• Casual, drop-in skating
• No pressure, no agenda
• Community vibes over performance
• Lots of laughs, rosy cheeks, and winter joy

What to bring:

• Skates (rentals available nearby if needed)
• Warm layers
• A friend — or just yourself

The Offline Collective is about simple movement, real connection, and reminding ourselves that winter can be playful if we let it be. Come for 10 minutes or the full two hours — whatever feels good.

Let’s skate, chat, and make February feel a little more human.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
