About Gölbaşı 100. Yıl Buz Pateni ve Tırmanma Salonu

The 100. Yıl Buz Pateni ve Tırmanma Salonu is an ice rink and indoor climbing hall run by Gölbaşı Municipality. It opened on Friday 13 October 2023, the 100th anniversary of Ankara becoming the capital, which gives the hall its name. According to the opening announcement, the 1500 square metre building holds a climbing wall, a mountaineering area, an ice rink with a spectator area, a foyer, a cafeteria and kitchen, changing rooms, coach and management rooms, and an open car park. Athletes of the Turkish Ice Skating Federation and the Turkish Mountaineering Federation can train here. The municipality runs free ice skating and sport climbing courses for children. A new course term for 5 to 12 year olds opened in July 2026, with registration at the hall itself; an e-Devlet personal health form and a copy of an ID card are required and places are limited. During school holidays the hall has also opened free to children: in the January 2026 half-term break it welcomed 6 to 18 year olds every day from 10:00 to 18:00 by appointment. Practical notes: book by phone on 0312 485 53 25 or 0312 485 54 43 before visiting. A climber writing about Ankara gyms in 2026 notes that, being a municipal facility, its entrance fee is much lower than at private gyms, but that it is harder to reach by public transport.
