Donauparkhalle was an indoor ice rink in Vienna-Donaustadt in Austria. It was originally built as an expo venue in 1964, next to an earlier landfill in Donaupark near Kaisermühlen, to be used for the garden-themed exhibition Wiener Internationale Gartenschau. Two years later, it was rebuilt into an indoor ice rink.[1]
During the 1966-67 season, Wiener EV played its first home games inside.[2] Later, it was used as home venue for the Vienna club WAT Stadlau. The venue was popular for its acoustics. The venue was demolished following the 1990-91 season.
The 1967 and the 1987 World Ice Hockey Championships were held at the Donauparkhalle. The World Figure Skating Championships have also been held here.[3]
