Last year the rink changed shape, going from an oval to a rounded square due to the increase in businesses and restaurants in the area surrounding the Golden 1 Center, which is located blocks from the rink. The shape change meant 25% more skaters could use the rink at a time.
The Downtown Sacramento Ice Rink first opened in 1991.
