The lake ice thickness was measured Friday, December 15th at 19 different locations and ranges from 6.9”(17.5cm) to 8.9” (22.5cm) of ice with an average thickness of 7.7” (19.5cm). This thickness is safe enough for the use of light walk behind equipment so we will begin to clear snow over the weekend for the hockey rinks as well as the skate pathway. We plan to have hockey rinks open for use by Monday evening. The condition of these rinks may be poor since we may not be able to properly flood the rinks until thicker ice forms to support the equipment weight. The skate path may be laid out in order to define the permitted ice fishing zone, however the path will remain closed for use until it can be properly maintained. Park users and lake front home owners will be advised when it is available for use. In most years the upper pleasure rink is the first rink to be available for use. Not this year however.. The cement and ice temperature in front of the Lake House canopy measures from .1oCto -1.3oC. Warm weather has not provided ideal ice making conditions since this area collects and draws heat from the ground and the Lake House. It is just too warm to freeze. Beneath the ice we have made, is a layer of water. Basically the slab is floating in this location. We will continue to flood this rink early in the mornings as well as late at night in order to build up the surface and drive frost into the cement and surrounding ground.
Starting Monday, December 18th, the Park will be open daily (except for holiday hours) until 9:00PM.
Weather conditions do affect our ability to maintain safe ice surfaces and changing conditions may result in the closure of surfaces with little or no notice.

Welcome to Midnapore!!
With the warmer weather approaching, it will not be long before our courts become busy with Pickleball and Tennis. We are seeing growing interest in Tennis however the interest and participation in Pickleball has grown exponentially which, in past years has created a greater demand for court time. Last year we converted one tennis court to four dedicated Pickleball courts and the remaining three tennis courts remained flex courts allowing for either Tennis or Pickleball play. Already this year, we have been approached by more members seeking to reserve court times as well as invite non-members.
This year, we sense there will be heightened demand and the courts will be in use practically every day. Our desire is that these courts should remain available on a first come basis and that they should be accessible to all members. Our sister lake associations are experiencing similar challenges, trying to provide their members the opportunity to enjoy their courts. With this in mind, perhaps we need to review existing, as well as develop new rules for court use which might include limiting guest access. I am inviting members, especially those who use the courts to submit their suggestions and input by sending an email to comments@midnaporelake.ca.
Larger groups can be requested with a minimum of 72 hours advanced notice.
Thank you for your understanding.
