Rollerskate in the city needs your support!

I hope they stay – I noticed they were being allowed to park their cars there – never one to pass up the opportunity, I parked mine there for two hours the other day and got away with it … still planning to park at the Tent Embassy during the week – I’ll report back on that one! : )

Someone surprised at the lack of people in Canberra during January? You’re new in town, aren’t you?

Perhaps if they set up the rink in Batemans Bay (Little Canberra By the Sea) they might get a few more customers.

I miss the giant Chess-set that used to be where the goon-bag is now, anyone else remember?

There are two respondents to this thread that appear to be ‘only happy when it rains’ (For two points, see if you can gues who they are!). Probably related to this: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-11-21/act-twitter-users-study-depressed/3683652

Too easy

Ooh, am i one of them? I was just trying to find out why someone would want to close down such an activity? It’s not my cup of tea, i did take the kids to the ice skating one & they enjoyed it though. But i don’t actively want to close it down. Why would you?

I used to skate in Garema Pl but nobody ever asked me for money our tried to get me to use a special rink.

Anyway the kids are skateboarding these days. When I heard about this, that’s what I assumed it was.

It would be great to have a permanent inline hockey surface somewhere. There used to be a rink in Hume a few years ago but that disappeared. I know the surface is still around in storage, maybe convert that foosball stadium near the lake into a rink for some inline hockey!

We went today and were the only ones there for our session which was good as my kids (5 & 3) spent most of the time running around in their socks. I found the lack of a hand rail was a problem along with the uneven surface.

If they had a flat section with a rail for beginners I think that would have helped us.

Ice skating was a much better experience for us and might leave skating for a few more years.

I think its $12.50 per adult, but yeah the ice skating made a lot more sense. I might give this a go, I’d have thought skate hire near the lake might have been a good idea?!?!?
Really though garema place is too small for a town square like feel, which this would be good for. If they didn’t keep selling out to developers we could have had a nice open public space in the centre of the city……

Canberra’s roller skaters? They’re there. Every one of them.
