Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena, Ice sports arena in Irvine, United States
Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena is an ice sports facility in Irvine, California, with four separate ice sheets under one roof, covering around 270,000 square feet (about 25,000 square meters). The complex is designed for both recreational skating and competitive training, with rinks dedicated to hockey and figure skating.
The facility opened in 2019 on the grounds of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in Irvine. It was developed as part of the broader redevelopment of that former military site into the Great Park, a large public recreation area.
Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena has a close relationship with the Anaheim Ducks, the local NHL team, which uses the facility for regular training. Visitors sometimes share the ice with professional players or watch them train from nearby seating areas.
The facility offers public skating sessions for all ages, and skate rentals are available on site for those who do not bring their own. It is a good idea to check session times in advance, as the rinks are often reserved for training or events.
Although it sits in Southern California, a region known for warm weather, this is one of the largest public ice facilities in the country. That contrast makes visiting feel a little unexpected, stepping from the Southern California sun into a building with four full sheets of ice.
