Westpost Outdoor Ice Skating, formerly known as Pentagon Row Outdoor Ice Skating, operates a seasonal outdoor rink at the plaza at Pentagon Row in Arlington, Virginia. At 7,200 square feet, the rink is described as the largest outdoor rink in Northern Virginia and the second-largest in Virginia. Visitors can enjoy public skating, with admission and skate rentals available; reservations are recommended and can be made up to two weeks in advance. The surrounding plaza features shops, restaurants, a coffee shop, and an outdoor, dual-sided stone fireplace.

The rink offers skating programs for different ages and abilities, including five-week youth group lessons, adult lessons, and private instruction by appointment. Youth lessons include skate rental and practice time, while private lessons are offered in several session lengths, with ice time and rental charged separately. Groups can also arrange birthday parties, which include a host and a 20-minute skating lesson, or organize fundraisers, with participating organizations receiving a share of admission revenue. Hours vary by day and holiday.
