ice rink

Frozen recreation venue

An ice rink is a smooth, flat surface of ice used for skating, hockey, or other ice sports.

It may be a natural frozen body of water, but more commonly refers to an artificial facility with refrigerated ice maintained at a rink or arena.

The term rink itself comes from a Scottish word for a designated area of play.
