Robson Square Ice Rink
800 Robson St, Vancouver, BC V6Z 3B7
What better activity says winter like lacing up some skates and enjoying a beautiful outdoor rink? With Vancouver's mild weather it is almost near impossible to find an outdoor ice rink (except in higher elevations such as on Grouse Mountain), however, over twenty-five years ago the centre of downtown was transformed with the construction of the Robson Square Ice Rink. Here, visitors were able to rent skates and enjoy the winter atmosphere. After seventeen years of providing an outdoor ice skating facility in the winter months, the rink fell into disrepair until 2009 when it was reopened for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games which were held in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia.
