Hamilton Community Center & Ice Arena — Attraction in Columbus

I have had several trips to this ice arena this year. The entire place is beautiful and well maintained. They have a 4-way fireplace in the main area and lots of benches to sit and put on skates.

Even the guard. I had a women mow my daughter over because of speed skating and being more worried about her phone. I also find it hard to believe they can't manage to sanitize the few skater aids they have for the kiddos but Walmart can. I think if your going to have some manage the ice they should...
