The first floor is a skating rink used for ice hockey games, figure skating and leisure skating throughout the year. On the second floor are table tennis facilities, and a corridor for jogging.
The arena opened in 1972. It hosted some of the ice hockey event at the 1972 Winter Olympics.

Eighteen years later, -in 2008- it was the main venue of the ice hockey World Championship Division I Group B and, every year, hosts some regular season games of the Asia League Ice Hockey, usually played around Christmas.
