The rink at Christie Pits is open quite a bit during the Holidays but, strangely, not on weekends. (Am I reading the schedule right? Wouldn't that be the most popular skating time?)
There also is a community-maintained rink at Sibelius Square. I think you can just skate there whenever you wish, but someone may have more of a scoop than I do about that one.
Happy skating!

The Sibelius Square "rink" is maintained by volunteer parents who brave the cold and pump some water onto the open field. We we usually start flooding once it is regularly cold enough to sustain a continually frozen chunk of skateable ice. Until then, and we haven't gottent there yet, we'd just be flooding water into the ground and making mud. Look for it to be a "rink" in January. It's as open to everyone for a skate as the park itself is.
Christie Pits is open on weekends. If you scroll down from the fist schedule, you'll see the schedules for the rest of the winter which makes it clearer. It's nice because the time is chopped up not just between public skating and shinny hockey but also shinny for little kids, younger kids, youths and open shinny.
Another good option (though not Annex) is at Alexandra Park (Bathurst and Dundas) because it has both a shinny rink with boards and net as well as a side rink that is strickly just for skating.
Thanks for your blog on our city. Keep up the great work! Hope you have a great 2011.
