skating rink

Frozen recreational surface

A skating rink is an enclosed area with a smooth surface for ice skating or roller skating.

Ice rinks maintain frozen floors year-round; roller rinks have wooden or concrete floors.

The term covers both the physical surface and the facility housing it: We're meeting at the skating rink at seven.
