Robson Square is a public square that is home to the British Columbia provincial law courts, a campus of the University of British Columbia and government office buildings. The site was originally planned to be the site of the city's tallest skyscraper but the plan was scrapped in favor of the present-day square. In winter, it is home to the only public outdoor skating rink in Vancouver. During the 2010 Winter Olympics, it was the center of nightly celebrations and events, such as the Olympic zipline ride.
