- Fun fact, Fort Dupont Ice Arena is a 501[c]3 (i.e. a not for profit entity). It was formed in the summer of 1996 in response to the pending closure of the ice arena by its former owner, the National Park Service.
- Since then, Fort Dupont Ice Arena has created Kids On Ice® (KOI), a program providing subsidized figure skating, hockey, and speed skating lessons to youth in the Washington DC Metropolitan area, especially those in the 7th Ward in Southeast DC where the arena is located. Each dollar you spend at Fort Dupont Ice Arena goes into programs like this as well as ensuring the facility is well maintained for all to enjoy.
