Philippines Video: Mall of Asia Ice Skating Rink
Owned and developed by SM Prime Holdings the SM Mall of Asia is the 2nd largest mall in the Philippines and the 4th largest shopping maal in the world. It’s land acerage is 42 hectares and floor space of approx 4.2 million square feet. It is located at Bay City, Pasay City, Philippines near Manila Bay. Approx 200,000 people visit the mall daily.
My favorite feature of Mall of Asia is the regulation size Ice Skating Rink. According to wikipedia:
“The mall features the Philippines’s first Olympic-sized ice skating rink. At 61 by 30 meters, the rink is described as the biggest of its kind in Southeast Asia. It can accommodate both recreational and competitive figure skating, as well as ice hockey. Along with plain access and skate rentals, the rink’s operators also offer training programs in both figure skating and ice hockey. Several ice skating competitions have been held at the mall’s ice skating rink, the most prestigious yet having been Skate Asia 2007. It was also the first time that the Philippines had hosted any international ice skating event.” I have a video I shot recently while visiting the Mall to show you what the rink looks like.
