Taipei Arena Introduction
Taipei Arena, located at the intersection of Dunhua North Road and Section 4 of Nanjing East Road in Songshan District, was originally the Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium. At the end of 2000, the Taipei City Government demolished the old baseball stadium and built a 15,000-seat multifunctional arena on the site. Taipei Arena is an important indoor venue in the overall planning and construction of Taipei City's sports facilities. The building consists of a main arena and a secondary venue. The main arena is a steel and reinforced concrete structure with 2 basement levels and 5 above-ground levels, covering a total floor area of approximately 90,900 square meters. The main arena's interior measures 76 meters in length and 41.5 meters in width; when the retractable seating is fully extended, the field still measures 60 meters by 29.5 meters. The central area can be turned into an ice rink as needed, making it a standard indoor venue for ice sports competitions. The venue's usage can be flexibly adjusted according to needs, allowing it to host international-level events for various sports federations, and it is a popular site for domestic and international arts and cultural groups to rent for performances and exhibitions. The secondary venue (Ice Wonderland) maintains ice year-round and is the only indoor ice rink in Taiwan that meets international standards, with seating for 800 spectators. The ice surface area measures 61 meters by 30 meters and is equipped with facilities for ice hockey and speed skating, enabling standard indoor ice sport competitions. It is open to the public for skating and offers various training courses. Ice Wonderland also welcomes school clubs or corporate groups to apply for group access, and can arrange for experienced skating instructors to guide participants in experiencing the joy of skating. Furthermore, Taipei Arena features approximately 2,000 square meters of commercial facilities, including well-known chain restaurants, convenience stores, fitness centers, family leisure venues, and health product shops, providing a comfortable space for dining, shopping, and entertainment for the public.
