Any roller skating rings in Santo Domingo?
used to be one on churchill. up in the area of La Sirena, other side of the road, dont know if still there
How about an ice rink? Does such a thing exist in the DR or am I out of my mind?
I've seen an artificial ice rink in the parking lot just south of the Churchill La Sirena (Santo Domingo). It was there around the winter holidays in 2008-2009. I don't know if they do it annually.
How cool would it be to have a permanent ice rink? I'm dreaming... with the apagones the ice would melt fast...
Anyone wanna build it and start a national Dominican hockey team? They could join the Jamaican bob-sled team at the next winter olympics! :cheeky:

They have plenty of inline skating parks around SD, roller rings I am unsure about, seems they are a little out of touch and times these days. With all the electricity cuts in SD these days an ice rink wouldn't stay iced for very long. Although I'd love for someone to prove me wrong.
you can do skating in parque mirador sur at corner with Jimenez de Moya ave.(Winston Churchill ave.)
The one I saw was on Churchill. It was an outdoor rink with artificial ice, which mercifully was not as slippery as real ice. There was a lot of laughing going on there also, including myself whenever I went by it. It appears that not a lot of dominicans are good ice skaters.
Hey, I'm Canadian and I love winter sports, including ice hockey... it's something I had to sacrifice when I went to the DR. I guess inline skating is the next best thing... but stopping isn't as easy as it is on ice.
