Hi,

Yesterday I was listening to a very short audio file. I heard a word related to facilities (i.e. swimming pool, fitness room, and social center, etc.). It's pronounced like 'icy reena', but I had no idea what it was. Could anyone please help me to identify this vocabulary? Thank you very much.

Leslie

two words......ice arena
It's a sports building in which the main part has a floor 'made of ice', to be used for ice sports like skating and ice hockey.

Although the latter two can be very simple outdoor facilities, consisting of a sheet of ice surrounded by a low wall of boards and without a roof.
