outdoor rink
Uncovered skating surface
An outdoor rink is a skating surface—usually ice, sometimes roller—located outside rather than in an enclosed arena.
The term most often refers to ice rinks, whether naturally frozen ponds or artificially maintained surfaces in parks and public spaces: The city sets up an outdoor rink every winter.
Outdoor rinks carry nostalgic associations with pond hockey and community skating.
