To promote the sport on 26 November 1926 the artificial ice rink (Műjégpálya) was opened, which allowed the athletes to train 105 days during the winter in the city park. After destruction in the Second World War, the artificial ice rink had to be closed for a season in 1944 and could be partly reopened in 1945 after a long reconstruction.

Large ice rink, unfortunately very crowded and endless queues.

On November 12, 1869, the “Pest Association for Ice Skaters” was founded in the Café Korona in Budapest. At the same time, the capital's first ice rink was opened on the lake in the city forest. At first there was only a small pavilion where the ice skaters could warm up. However, the popularity was soon so great that the club regularly organized events and festivals. This included, among other things, the city's first ice skating competition on February 2, 1870. Later, when Buda and Pest united to form Budapest, the “Pest Ice Skaters' Association” was renamed the “Budapest Ice Skaters' Association”. The first president of the new association was Count Manó Andrássy.

The popularity of this new attraction continued to grow, and consideration was given to replacing the wooden pavilion, which was much too small, with a new one. The still unknown Hungarian architect Ödön Lechner won the tender. For his first work, he designed a functional wooden building with a dressing room for the women and one for the men, as well as a room for everyone to warm up. This new building was expanded in 1895.
