FACILITY DETAILS
The Indiana/World Skating Academy houses two ice surfaces. The ice surface for both rinks measures 85' wide by 200' long (standard NHL size), with rounded corners and a hockey barrier. The competition rink (American Rink) is located on the street level of our facility, and the practice rink (Olympic Rink) is located on the lower level of our facility. Dressing rooms will be available in the lower level of our facility. They are connected by a 12 story red, grey and blue business office tower. Circle Centre mall, which is located across the street from Pan Am Plaza, has a food court. Dozens of dining options are within walking distance.
PARKING
The rink is located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, and as a result we do not have a traditional parking lot. Limited metered parallel street parking is available in the surrounding blocks, and will be free after 6 PM on Friday, and all day Saturday and Sunday.
CHEAP parking is available in any of the three Circle Centre mall garages for $1.50 for 3 hours, $3 for 3-5 hours, $6 for 5-6 hours, $8 for 6-8 hours, $14 for 8-12 hours, and $20 for 12-24 hours. (*I/WSA FSC is not responsible for price changes. Some super busy weekends there is a $20 event parking fee, but you can be charged the normal rate if you show receipts of $20+ from any mall retail store or mall food purchase).
These garages are located conveniently:
1) in the block north of I/WSA, with entrances located on the Illinois St., and Maryland St.;
2) one block NE of I/WSA, in the south Nordstrom block of Circle Centre mall, entrance on Georgia St.;
3) in the north Carson Pirie Scott block of the mall, entrance on Maryland St. and Washington St.
There is a parking garage located directly under the two ice rinks, with entrances to the rinks. Entrances are on Illinois St. and Capitol Ave. It's one of the most expensive garages in walking distance, however.
Note: If you are use the garage elevator, exit at level 1.
