New DC area ice rink at National Harbour
« on: December 06, 2012, 05:39:15 PM »
(Sorry if I've got the wrong forum. This isn't "training" either.)

There is now a rather large outdoor ice rink at [Gaylord] National Harbour, around where the fountain runs in the summer.

If things haven't changed, parking is several times more expensive than the skating sessions, but if you happen to be at the harbour for something else in season (e.g., they have conventions at the hotels there, and they will open a casino nearby), skating may be possible.

Edit: I have not been there. I do not know if the address on the web pages applies to the ice rink. In particular, National Harbour area extends into Maryland. Sorry. Perhaps you can get there by metro.
