β€œBeautiful Location & Great Vibes! Located deep inside the state park, this place was such a pleasant surprise - I never even knew it existed! The park itself is beautiful and spacious, and the roller rink is both indoor and outdoor, which makes it extra fun. I visited on a warm September Friday night for the 6-9 PM session, arriving around 8 PM. As soon as I stepped out of my car, I could hear some great R&B tunes (Mary J. Blige’s β€œJust Fine” was playing!) and I couldn’t wait to get in. Entry was just $2 since I brought my own skates. No bags are allowed on the rink floor, but they provide free lockers, which was really convenient. Once I laced up and hit the floor, it was nothing but a soulful mix of smooth R&B all night long. The crowd was a great mix of young and old skaters, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel completely safe and welcome. I truly enjoyed the session and can’t wait for next year’s roller skating season!”

β€œIt was very fun. Very friendly for a newbie. Just wear gloves and bring a helmet for extra protection. The shoes you can bring yours or rent it from there.”

β€œNice music, concrete floor but pretty smooth, there are lockers and benches. The location needs to be a year round location because there are no roller skating rinks around. There are plenty of ice skating rinks all over the city so this one should be converted to roller skating only. Walls need to be installed so that rollerskating can be done in the winter also.”
