Gyeongpo Ice Hall, Indoor ice rink in Gangneung, South Korea.
Gyeongpo Ice Hall is a large ice rink facility in Gangneung with seating for about 12,000 spectators and multiple professional-grade ice surfaces for different skating disciplines. The modern facilities support both competition events and public skating.
The hall was built as a venue for the 2018 Winter Olympics and served as a major center for figure skating and short track speed skating competitions. Since then it has remained an active site for international and local sporting events.
The venue is deeply connected to local ice skating traditions and regularly draws athletes and spectators who are part of South Korea's figure skating community. It reflects the passion Gangneung has for winter sports.
Visitors can use public skating sessions, and equipment rental along with instruction for beginners are available. It is best to check ahead for public skating times, as the facility is often in use for training and competition events.
The facility uses specialized cooling systems that can maintain different ice temperatures depending on the sport. This allows different skating disciplines to take place in the same building.
