Dear sports enthusiasts, see you on the ice! The public skating season starts on October 18, 2025.
Skating is not only a fun activity, but also an ideal way to improve your physical and mental health and escape from everyday stress.
👉 Lockers, skate sharpening, and skate rental are available.
Why skating?
🫀 Cardiovascular health
Skating is an aerobic activity that strengthens the heart and lungs. Regular skating improves blood circulation, reduces the risk of heart disease, and helps regulate blood pressure.
💪 Strengthening muscles and joints
Skating engages almost all major muscle groups, especially the legs and buttocks (quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes), core (abdominal and back muscles), arms, and shoulders (when maintaining balance or playing hockey).
In addition, it is a low-impact activity – it does not strain the joints as much as running, which is also suitable for people with sensitive knees.
⚖️ Balance and coordination
Skating significantly improves stability, balance, and coordination. These skills are important not only in sports but also in everyday life, especially in older age.
🧠 Mental health
Movement on ice releases endorphins—the happiness hormones. It reduces stress and anxiety and improves mood. Skating often has a social dimension, which promotes social contact and mental well-being.
🔥 Burning calories
Skating is very effective at burning fat – depending on the intensity, you can burn 300–600 calories per hour. It thus helps with weight control and overall fitness.
🧘♀️ Improved posture
Stabilizing the body on a slippery surface forces a person to engage their deep muscles, which strengthens the back muscles and improves posture.
Bring your family and friends and enjoy the winter atmosphere and the joy of skating on ice.
Healthy exercise, relaxation, and fun for young and old alike—public skating offers it all!
We look forward to seeing you! 😊
