A skating rink is a specially designed area where people can skate on ice or a smooth surface. Ice rinks are typically used for activities like ice hockey, figure skating, and recreational skating. They are often found in indoor arenas or outdoor parks and can vary in size. In addition to ice rinks, there are also roller skating rinks, which feature a smooth floor for roller skates. These rinks often host events, parties, and competitions. Both types of rinks provide a fun environment for people of all ages to enjoy skating as a recreational activity.
