ice rinks

Slippery skating surfaces

Ice rinks are smooth, flat surfaces of ice used for skating, hockey, curling, and other winter activities.

Most are artificially frozen and maintained indoors, though outdoor rinks—natural or flooded—remain common in cold climates.

The singular form appears in compounds: ice-rink Zamboni, ice-rink birthday party.
