About the Synthetic Ice Skating Rink:
The synthetic ice rink is environmentally friendly, and does not require electricity or water which makes it ideal for Myrtle Beach’s warm climate. The synthetic ice consists of a unique plastic polymer that best resembles the consistency of the world’s largest white cutting board. The ice rink is fitted together like a giant jigsaw puzzle in 4’ X 8’ synthetic ice sheets. The ice panels are treated with a lubricating solution that reduces contact friction and enhances the glide and speed of the skating experience. Approximately 50 skaters will be able to skate on the rink at one time.
When skating on natural ice, the skate blade causes pressure which generates heat and melts the ice, creating a thin layer of water which is the source of that smooth skating glide. With synthetic ice, the skate blade creates the same heat, causing a release of the lubricants in the solution which gives skaters the feel of skating on natural ice.
