Ecological ice rinks, also known as synthetic ice rinks, represent an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional ones. They rely on state-of-the-art technologies to provide the same skating experience as traditional ice surfaces, but without the need for low temperatures or high energy consumption required for optimal use.
We offer cutting-edge solutions for the setup of ecological ice rinks in community spaces. We also provide full support throughout the entire design and installation process to ensure that the location is fully functional and seamlessly integrates into its surroundings.

Why do local authorities invest in European ecological ice rinks??
Unlike ice rinks, ecological ones have a sliding surface made of modular panels that are not influenced by atmospheric temperatures. Therefore, these locations can be used throughout the entire calendar year, making them a potential option for local authorities to consider in their communities.
First and foremost, they serve as a unique attraction during pre-planned community events such as local festivals, cultural and sports events, outdoor activities for community members during winter, spring, and summer holidays, as well as on specific dates like June 1st, February 14th, May 1st, March 1st and 8th, Christmas, or Easter.
Such an investment enhances the perception of the quality of life by providing additional recreational options in the area. Setting up ecological ice rinks involves a straightforward process and presents significant potential for communities or regions where entertainment opportunities are limited.
Not only can community members enjoy the ice rink, but also people from surrounding areas, along with their families. Moreover, the inauguration of such a sports and recreation area can revitalize local commerce. Local authorities can offer local producers the opportunity to showcase their goods at specially arranged stands near the ice rink. Therefore, the presence of such a location can breathe new life into local tourism.
Why are ecological ice rinks an investment in sustainability?
These sustainable products offered by Waterboyz are manufactured in the European Union according to the highest standards. Users experience a skating experience very close to natural ice. For our entire range of ecological ice rinks, we provide a 10-year warranty, and their lifespan is over 15 years.
Therefore, we are talking about a long-term and environmentally friendly investment since operating such a location significantly reduces costs for using certain resources, such as water or electricity (essential for the operation of equipment to create/uniformize the natural ice layer).
The sliding surface of an ecological ice rink is made of modular panels, easy to assemble and disassemble. Thus, the entire setup can be easily moved from one area of the city to another, depending on events or how authorities reconsider the utility of certain public spaces in that area.
The panels making up the contact surface are made of 100% recyclable, non-toxic materials, ensuring the use of a space without CO2 emissions. Such an investment demonstrates the interest and involvement of local authorities in sustainable projects, essential for environmental conservation and improving the quality of life.
The ecological ice rink is ideal for both recreational skating enthusiasts and the organization of local sports projects supported by authorities for children who want to try certain sports on skates: hockey, figure skating.
