  • Three rinks: 1 Olympic size (200' x 100') and 2 NHL Size (200' x 85'). Logsdon Pavilion includes retractable walls for 'pond' skating. Patrick Rink and Exhibition Center boasts more than 1,500 person seating capacity.
     
  • Private rooms  designed to accommodate private parties, corporate meetings, company   get-togethers etc.
     
  • Independent full gym (Wellness for Life), pro shop (For Sports) and café (Ice Breakers Café) with trained staffs.
     
  • Home to five youth hockey programs, several youth leagues as well as numerous high school teams, with the Maryland Scholastic High School Championship - an annual tradition. TGIH is also home to the Mid Atlantic Skating School and the Gardens Figure Skating Club as well as the Potomac Curling Club in the National Capital Curling Center.

   The Patrick Rink

The Lodgson Pavilion provides seating for nearly 200, with a standing room capacity reaching close to 3,000.  To add another special twist to the facility, the Pavilion's walls are capable of opening to produce the pond atmosphere, which had previously been impossible to maintain considering the region's climate for much of the year.

 No matter which rink you would like to skate on, all offer the highest quality of ice you can find anywhere.

The Gardens features three skating rinks, as well as The National Capital Curling Center . The Patrick Rink and Logsdon Pavilion both contain NHL-size ice surfaces (200' x. 85'), while the Resor Rink is of Olympic Size (200' x. 100'). Both NHL rinks are concrete based, while the Resor is a sand base. All offer the highest quality of ice and facilities.

 Skating on the Resor and Patrick started in the fall of 1996, while the Logdson Pavilion was open for business in January of 1999. The National Capital Curling center opened its doors in February of 2002.

 Broken in by the 1980 Olympic Alumni team in September of '96, the Patrick Rink also features seating for at least 800, and has held more than 3,000 fans for such special events as the annual MSHL Championships and the USA Hockey National Championships, to name a few.
