A year-round twin-rink arena with a 60 by 30 m A rink, opened in 2020 on an old auto-race track
Mitsui Fudosan Ice Park Funabashi opened on 13 December 2020 inside the MFLP Funabashi logistics park, on the site of the old Funabashi auto-race track. It is described as the first independent twin rink in Japan, and it brought skating back to Funabashi after twelve years: the city's winter-only outdoor rink at Natsumi had closed in 2008.
The A rink measures 60 by 30 metres to International Skating Union standard, about 1,800 square metres, and the B rink, about 900 square metres, is the practice rink and is also used for lessons and school outings. The cooling uses a natural-refrigerant NH3/CO2 system and energy-saving technology.
The rink is open every day of the year, and the monthly public-session calendar needs no booking. Inside, the air is below 10 degrees even in summer. The rink is run by Patine Leisure.
