Rink systems
A rink you can wander.
Skating tracks replace the oval with a scenic, winding path through a park, a plaza or a holiday light display. Popular across Europe and gaining ground in North America, they turn a public space into a destination people come back to all season.
The idea
More than 1,000 feet of ice, and no two laps alike.
A track can weave through trees, past food vendors, around a Christmas village or along a waterfront. Skaters explore instead of circling, stay longer, and take the photos that market next season for you.
- Smaller overall footprint than a traditional rink
- Lower startup and material cost
- Ideal for municipalities, shopping districts and resorts
- Built for holiday shows, light trails and winter villages
- More participation, longer visits, more repeat trips
- Integrates with food vendors, markets and event zones
Custom-designed for your site.
Every track is designed to your layout and your programming. We plan the turns and passing zones, viewing areas, refrigeration and piping routes, lighting and the operational logistics of resurfacing a path instead of a sheet. Tracks pair naturally with a small traditional rink for lessons and events, and with our portable rink systems for seasonal installations.
Questions we get
Frequently asked
How long can a skating track be?
Tracks can span more than 1,000 feet. Length is set by the site, the refrigeration capacity and how you plan to resurface.
Is a track cheaper than a rink?
Typically the startup and material cost is lower for the same visitor capacity, because the footprint is smaller and the ice is spread along a path rather than across a full sheet.
Can a track be seasonal?
Yes. Most tracks are seasonal installations on portable piping, set up in the autumn and removed in spring.
