Lentpark

Lentpark in the Nippes district of Cologne has combined a swimming hall and an ice rink under one roof since 2011 — an unusually integrated setup for a German public sports facility. It replaced the dilapidated Nippesbad and an older ice surface, both of which had served northern Cologne's sporting infrastructure for decades. The ice hall hosts hockey training, figure skating, and public skating sessions; the pool includes lap lanes and a dedicated shallow teaching pool for children. For families in Nippes and neighboring districts, it's the go-to venue for year-round, weather-independent sport.
