Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena is a 2,500 seat (FivePoint Arena) 4 rink (3 NHL and 1 Olympic) ice hockey facility in Irvine, California. It serves as the practice facility of the Anaheim Ducks, after leaving Anaheim Ice.[4] The facility includes a team store, restaurant (Between the Rinks), pro shop, arcade, and other amenities. As one of The Rinks facilities, Great Park Ice offers youth and adult hockey, curling, ice skating lessons, figure skating, and public skating hours.[5] The complex is also surrounded by Orange County Great Park which has other sports facilities.
On March 14, 2020, all Ice Management LLC. facilities, including the Great Park Ice & FivePoint Arena,[3] suspended all operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Despite later resuming operations, Anaheim Ice facilities agreed to comply with ongoing California state COVID-19 guidelines in August 2020.[7] As part of the COVID response, the facility has been designated as the temporary home facility for the Ducks' AHL affiliate, San Diego Gulls, for the 2020–21 season instead of their normal home area Pechanga Arena.
