Ice Rink on Olive Av
Does anyone remember a ice rink on Olive Av a block or so east of Fresno st? I remember going there as a young kid in the late 50's to view a ice capades type show.

My parents taught at the old Rink on Olive from 51 to 53, the moved to San Francisco then returned and bought the little ring in Pinedale in 61. While I never got to skate in the Olive rink I have heard so many things about it from family and Friends that I get a chill every time I drive past Olive & Fresno

Olive and Fresno - trying to picture this. Is the original building still standing? Which side of Olive was it on?

The North East Corner, right about where the post office is now.

It was called the Fresno Ice Arena and, for a brief period, the Fresno Sports Arena when they played high school basketball games there around 1948.
