Swan Lake ice rink in downtown Yerevan opens

10:34,

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS. One of the most-beloved winter leisure locations in Yerevan is already open! The Swan Lake ice rink is now open every day from 11:00 to 22:00, the City Hall said.

The Swan Lake is an artificial mini-lake near the Yerevan Opera House. For many years now the lake is converted into an ice skating arena in winter seasons.

City Hall said the hourly fees remain unchanged – 500 drams if you bring along your own skates, and 1000 dram drams if you rent them. Trainers will assist amateur skaters in the rink.

From 15:30 to 18:00 the rink will be on a break for technical reasons.

The ice rink will be open until March 1, 2019.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
