History

The venue was originally designated for ice rink sports (i.e. figure skating, ice hockey) and has two ice rinks, yet later it was transformed into multifunctional facility providing training site for basketball, martial arts, badminton and other sports.[2] In 2013 it was closed for reconstruction for the 2015 EuroBasket, but the construction was later suspended.

It is used by HC Dniprovski Vovky and sometimes by a basketball team BC Dnipro.

The size of a rink is 61x30. The training rink is the same size with a seating capacity of 300 and located behind the arena.
