Glenorchy Ice Skating Rink, Public ice skating venue in Glenorchy, Tasmania.
The Glenorchy Ice Skating Rink was an indoor facility with an ice surface measuring 30 by 15 meters, available for skating year-round. The venue could accommodate around 100 spectators during competitions and events.
The facility opened in 1980 and served as Tasmania's only ice rink for over 40 years. It closed permanently in May 2022, marking the end of the region's unique skating venue.
The rink served as the regional hub for ice hockey and figure skating, drawing beginners and experienced athletes alike. People from across Tasmania came here to develop their skills and participate in local competitions.
Visitors could rent skates in various sizes, from child to adult, along with training aids for beginners. The facility was less crowded on weekdays, making them a good time to visit for those learning to skate.
The rink hosted an annual charity exhibition that supported junior ice hockey training in the region. This special event brought community members together while helping young athletes develop their careers.
