💬 What Visitors Say
- The perforated plastic tile surface has low traction, so bring wheels with higher grip (90A or above) if you have them, as 85A wheels make sudden stops and turns difficult
- Plan to visit during off-peak hours to avoid crowds and secure parking, as the rink has limited parking availability
- This outdoor inline rink is better suited for casual skating rather than speed skating or slalom due to the surface characteristics
- Be prepared for static electricity buildup when skating—wear rubber-soled skates or bring grounding strips to avoid sparks when touching the rail
- Take advantage of free public skating sessions when the rink isn't reserved, but book ahead if you want guaranteed ice time ($75/hour reservation fee)
