I was very pleasantly surprised by how much this place seems to have improved since I was last there over a year ago. The rink itself is huge and has a very smooth and fast surface. Apparently recently refinished. The A/C was working just fine on a sweltering hot day. (Perfect summer activity.) There's a ""baby"" rink next to the big one where I could take time to work on stopping and other techniques. The folks working there are friendly and competent. It has a good pro shop. It is very clean. (The parking lot and exterior, not so much.) I docked a star for two reasons. One, the music was just not to my liking. For roller skating I like disco (the only time I like it) and `80's and `90's pop. The modern urban music that the DJ plays loudly might be more enjoyable to others. Also, it would have been nice to have management exercise more regulation of the small children whose parents apparently didn't see the need to stop them from, at times, skating the wrong way, and just doing the stuff that unsupervised kids do. I intend to come back a lot more often since it is close to home.
