26 February 2025, Author: Mateusz Gałęski

Municipal Sports and Recreation Centre in Ełk informs that on March 9, 2025 will be the last day of operation of the municipal ice rink in the season 2024/2025. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the last days of winter activities on ice.

The 2024/2025 season at the municipal ice rink in Ełk is coming to an end, but it is already known that it will be record-breaking in terms of attendance. According to the data of the Municipal Sports and Recreation Centre, as many as 23,202 people used the ice rink by 23 February. This is a significant increase compared to previous years. For comparison, in the 2023/24 season, this number was 21,158 people, and in the 2022/23 season – 20,039 people.

Residents of Ełk can use the ice rink until Sunday, March 9, 2025 inclusive. The ice rink's work schedule can be found on the MOSiR Ełk website.

Why is it worth skating?

Regular riding engages the muscles of the legs, buttocks, abdomen and back, which strengthens the figure and improves motor coordination. An hour of skating allows you to burn from 200 to 800 calories, which helps to stay in shape and improve the body's performance. Compared to running or strength training, ice skating is more joint-friendly, so it can be practiced by people of all ages. Physical activity on the ice rink promotes relaxation, improves well-being and helps reduce stress.
