The patinoire de Saint-Pierre was inaugurated on 14 December 1984 in the commune of Saint-Pierre on the island of the same name. It is the only ice rink located in France's overseas territories. Its opening gave the archipelago a venue for artistic skating, curling and ice hockey.
The facility serves as a meeting place where residents gather regularly for skating and ice hockey matches during winter. It plays an important role in the recreational life of the island community.
The rink is open from October to April; outside that season there is no ice. It sits in the commune of Saint-Pierre on the island of the same name, with 740 seated places in the stands. Recreational skating is offered to individuals and school groups, alongside figure skating, curling and ice hockey.
This is the only ice skating venue across all French overseas territories, located on an island in the North Atlantic. Its isolated location makes it a particularly notable place for winter sports in the region.
