If I had my own rink:
I'd bank the ice on the boards like a quarter pipe so you could do skate up the boards
I'd have a swivel harness so you could work your spins
I'd have a harness with a curved track to make jumps more realistic
the sound system would ROCK
the ceiling would be made of glass
I'd grow grass around the inside perimiter
It'd be styled around the center court of an Italian villa complete with sculptures in the grass
It'd have a nice warm greenhouse with a coffee/tea room and a hot tub right in a Japanese garden for recovering......................

oh, sorry spaced out there a minute, seems I'm already partially there, LOL

Thanks Jazzpants for finding and posting the link!

Actually Winter Lodge just shuts down for the summer, since its "big" rink is an outdoor facility and it's too warm to keep it frozen during the summer. But Winter Lodge does operate the tennis courts that are adjacent as part of its contract with the city.

And you're right, the fireplace is WONDERFUL! (So are the classes since the coaches there find a way to include everyone in some class.. and that way EVERYONE performs in the show each year. Very cozy, friendly atmosphere both the facility and the people (staff AND skaters).
