| massive interior at Sports Basement--Berkeley in Berkeley, California |
Operating within a gigantic, open indoor space that was once the Iceland ice skating rink, Sports Basement--Berkeley offers a huge selection of Hoka shoes, a massive selection of bikes, and way, way more sports-related gear.  |

The building is relatively unchanged since its ice rink days. Historical signs, ice skates, and other mementos related to the original ice rink are found here and there throughout the store, and the refurbished scoreboard as well as the Iceland roof sign are mounted behind the check-out counter. Keep your eyes open.

Some used sports gear and clothing can be traded in for store credit, and many items are accepted as donations (details at website). Free parking is available adjacent to the building on both sides of the building, and metered street parking is also available. Way more things to do in Berkeley.More ideas for exploring Northern California.
