Outdoor ice rinks are in a recovery process because people prefer ice skating in combination with direct sun radiation in their leisure time.

Downtown outdoor ice rinks are mostly portable installations, also referred as seasonal, temporary or mobile ice rinks. You find more information on at section “portable ice rink systems”.

Older, standard sized (200x85 feet / 60x30m) ice rink facilities with no roof above became rare over the past years. But there is nothing like skating or practicing on a sunny day on an outdoor ice rink.
