Eis- und Funsportzentrum Munich

Skating rink

Veronica from Munich

I’m a journalist, editor and writer who grew up under the Maltese sun, studied and worked in Scotland, and since 2016 have been based in Munich. Trained by the Associated Press and with a Masters from the University of Edinburgh, I now run my own content company, ittra.eu, where I write creative and business content. I also coach public speaking. Beyond words, I’m a proud mum of wonderful boys and...
"Ready for a year-round fun with outdoor ice skating, indoor rinks, and summer activities for all ages? Eis- und Funsportzentrum Ost in Munich has it all!"

Nestled on the eastern edge of Munich’s Ostpark, the Eis- und Funsportzentrum Ost offers an unpretentious yet enchanting winter escape. Its crowning feature is a 400-metre outdoor ice track which stretches gracefully across the crisp air, inviting both the tentative first-timer and the seasoned skater to glide at their own pace. There’s a charm in the openness: the park’s trees stand as silent spectators, their bare branches catching the evening lights that illuminate the rink after dusk.

Inside, a smaller indoor area hums with activity, catering to local clubs, casual visitors and families alike. Skate rentals are available, making the rink accessible even to those arriving unprepared, though patience is sometimes required during busy spells, a reminder that this is a place loved by the city’s community, bustling yet warmly human.

What makes Ostpark’s rink truly distinctive is its dual identity. In winter, it is a serene arena for ice skating, hockey, and leisurely laps; in summer, it transforms into a haven for inline skaters, scooter enthusiasts, and urban adventurers. This year-round adaptability mirrors the city itself: vibrant, versatile, and alive with possibilities.

There is something quietly democratic about the experience here. For just a few euros, a visitor can step into a scene of shared joy, laughter echoing across the ice, punctuated by the occasional triumphant tumble.
