Ümitköy Spor Kompleksi Buz Pisti

About Ümitköy Spor Kompleksi Buz Pisti

The ice rink at the Ümitköy Spor Kompleksi (Ümitköy Sports Complex) in Koru Mahallesi, Çayyolu, is a state-run rink in Ankara's south-western suburbs, operated under the Ankara Provincial Directorate of Youth and Sports (GSB Ankara). The Turkish Ice Skating Federation lists it among its training facilities, and a 2023 Bilkent Post guide to the city's rinks notes that it opened in 2018 and is linked to the Ministry of Youth and Sports. According to GSB Ankara, the rink is built to professional standards and is used for figure-skating training and official competitions, for ice hockey teams' preparation and official matches, and for national and international events. Alongside this, it holds public skating sessions, which GSB Ankara listed in December 2025 as running on weekdays between 09:30 and 14:00 and open to people of all ages. Because club training and competitions take up much of the ice, public session times change; the rink's Instagram account posts the current programme, and it is worth calling before you go. Independent skating schools also run courses for children and adults here. Practical notes: the complex is on Ankaralılar Caddesi in the Koru neighbourhood of Çayyolu, in Çankaya district. Admission prices are not published by the operator, so check them by phone.
