City Center & The Providence Rink
History
Open year round for events and programming. Ice-skating from late November to early March. Roller skating and sports programming May to October, including the popular Roller Disco series. The original Rink infrastructure was built in 1998 and was known by various names over the years due to corporate sponsorship, similarly to the Providence Civic Center. Located between Biltmore and Burnside Parks.
