Oxford Ice Rink

Oxford Ice Rink is a 56 × 26m ice rink with capacity for 1025, located on Oxpens Road in Oxford, England. It is a ten-minute walk from Oxford city centre and railway station.

In 1980, money was raised by the Oxford Ice Skating Trust for the construction of a new ice rink — a project that was taken over by the Oxford City Council, who continue to own and manage the premises. The rink, designed by Nicholas Grimshaw, was built on Oxpens Road and opened in 1984 with an ice hockey match between the Oxford City Stars and the Oxford University Ice Hockey Club. It looks like a ship, thanks to two 30-metre masts at each end. The north end of the building is fully glazed, allowing plenty of natural light into the rink.
