(Dublin, Ohio) — For the second consecutive year, the Riverside Crossing Park Ice Rink has been nominated for USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Ice Skating Rink. The Dublin favorite ranked 10th in last year’s national competition and is once again skating toward the top spot in 2025.

Located in Downtown Dublin, the 3,200-square-foot ice rink sits in the lower plaza of Riverside Crossing Park, just east of The Dublin Link pedestrian bridge. The rink offers a festive, family-friendly experience and serves as a seasonal centerpiece for community connection and outdoor fun.
