I couldn't find a list of where skating rinks spawn, so I've asked on Twitter and done a forum search. This is what I have so far, and when people have seen them there:
Skating Rinks
Willow Creek:
- original Goth neighbourhood: seen so far in Winter, Spring
- commercial district: Summer
- around the central park lot: seen all seasons
Newcrest:
- top neighbourhood: Summer
- near Oak Alcove lot, bottom left neighbourhood: seen so far in Spring, Summer
Magnolia Promenade: seen so far in Summer, Winter
Windenburg:
- old town: seen in Winter (look behind the nightclub)
Has anyone found others that aren't on this?

just letting you know that the locations apparently vary by season, too. a friend didn't find the one in the commercial district (behind the museum) in spring, but it changed to summer and the roller rink appeared

Thanks! I wonder if it's consistent? I've got a roller rink in the Oasis Springs commercial district, but it's my first I've seen. Makes sense that there wouldn't be ice skating there, though. I added that info

oh...should have mentioned this in the first response, too (too distracted by trying to get the plant cheats info out), but the willow creek park seems to have a rink per season, the location just changes
the newcrest area's rink apparently changes location and becomes the bigger version, too. screenshots incoming (thanks, @lumiasta!)

I think there might be something buggy in Willow Creek commercial area. My sim visited the rink right behind the gym. Then I switched household, and a sim visited the library on next door lot, and I was surprised that I could no longer see the rink. It was the same day or the day after, and same season. Maybe it depend on what lot you visit? For the park it should not be a problem though.

magnolia promenade, summer, i think?:
upper left newcrest, summer:
oasis springs commercial, summer:
willow creek park, summer:
UGH. some of those places bother my ocd SO much.
Yeah especially the Newcrest one, why is it standing in the middle of a sidewalk, couldn't they make it look like it was part of the world and align it with the sidewalk and like why would there be a skating rink on a parking lot?
I really don't like the way they are placed in the game world. Hopefully there will be a mod to remove them/prevent them from spawning. I rather have my own venue for skating...
I saw ice skating rink in Oasis Springs commercial district same place as photo above shows the roller rink.
Awesome!

I've seen a skating ring in Newcrest, bottom left neighborhood, in Spring
That's the neighbourhood with Oak Alcove in it, I think? Will add Spring

OH! I did not know that they would randomly spawn in the world. This is awesome! I have been adding them to my venues (which really stinks b/c they are large objects). I have a lot of rooftop skating rinks, which does make for some awkward aesthetics. lol Thank you for making this list, Luthien!
I'm happy to know I don't need to keep doing that. I just need to make sure my sims get out of their sub neighborhood more. hahaha
I was hoping one could spawn in Windenburg's Modern District, but all the between spaces look too small to spawn one.
I wish San Myushuno had an area like this for community lots. I want more things to do in the city besides festivals.
This water area could have been a nice location for a small one.
So I am building a skating lot here for year round skating.
I'll just swap out for ice skating in the winter. I didn't like the dance club that was here anyway.

I like that they spawn, but the placement bothers me too. Weird angles, or off-center, or cut through sidewalks, or even just in a place that I wanted to remain bare grass. Now we need world editing tools even more!
I don't have a picture but I can confirm an ice skating rink in Magnolia Promenade in winter.
Thanks

Man, I thought that it was just me.
@CK213 That's a really picturesque lot. I'd love to skate at a rink like that IRL.
BTW, maybe San Myshuno Meadows would be a good place for a rink? It's so far away from everything else, I often forget that, that big lot is there.
On a side note: Since the worlds were updated, did the devs finally fix the issue with only one chair per table in SMM?

I didn't see any alert.

Did anyone else see (or rather not see) this?

I've been searching and can't find one It's my favorite to play in too.
I'd say it's best to place a rink in BB. BB is a good place for placing an indoor rink.
