State-of-the-art ION International Training Center to open in Leesburg this weekend

The nearly 100,000-square-foot center, located at Compass Creek’s 550-acre retail, office and entertainment development off Battlefield Parkway in Leesburg, is among the largest facilities in the mid-Atlantic region. ION has two National Hockey League-size skating rinks, and the owners plan to build two more in the future.

“We are a mini Verizon Center [now Capital One Arena],” Setayesh said. “For one reason or another everyone will set foot in this building. We are here to help the community.”
