In the framework of the FAIR* project, the PAX collaboration has suggested a new experiments using polarized antiprotons**, in particular the study of the transverse spin structure of the proton. To polarize antiprotons the spin filtering method is proposed. The PAX collaboration is going to design the Antiproton Polarizer Ring (APR). In this contribution the design of this storage ring is described. The basic parameters of the APR are antiproton beam energy of 250 MeV and emittance in both planes of 250 pi mm mrad. The APR consists of two 180 degree arcs and two straight sections. One straight section houses the injection/extraction and the polarized internal target cell, in the other straight section, the electron cooler and a Siberian snake are located. Different optical conditions have to be fulfilled in the straight sections: (1) The target cell requires a beta function of less than 0.3 m. (2) The beam has to be circular and upright in the phase space ellipse at the target, the electron cooler, and the snake. (3) The antiproton beam should have a size of 10 mm for an emittance of 250 pi mm mrad. (4) The momentum dispersion has to be zero in both straight sections.
