Ice rink

Ice rink (or ice skating rink) is a frozen body of water and/or hardened chemicals where people can skate or play winter sports. There are two types of rinks in prevalent use today: natural, where freezing occurs due to cold ambient temperatures, and artificial (or mechanically-frozen), where a coolant produces cold temperatures in the surface below the water, causing the water to freeze. There are also synthetic ice rinks, where skating surfaces are made out of plastics.
