Anglet's rink opened on 21 June 1969 and is home to the Anglet Hormadi hockey club
The Patinoire de la Barre opened on 21 June 1969 as the "Palais des glaces" of Anglet, on communal land at the mouth of the Adour. Promoter Philippe Lépine had the idea after the 1968 Grenoble Olympics and was granted a four-hectare plot for twenty-five years. His private operation ended on 1 May 1975, when the commune took over, and the rink reopened on 12 July 1976.
The ice measures 56 by 26 metres, with 1,075 seats around it. Hockey players took it over at once: the Anglet Hormadi Club was created in October 1970, and the Hormadi Élite team still plays here. In 1989, at the town's request, the rink's two skating clubs merged into Anglet Sports de Glace.
The rink hosted the 1981 French figure skating championships, and its ice has seen hockey names such as Brian Propp and Andrei Swistak. For its 50th anniversary in 2019 the town counted 40,000 skaters a year at public sessions, plus 25,000 schoolchildren.
