The Roller rink provides the use of skates or blades with your admission price or bring your in own to save a couple dollars. There is a concession area with a small sit down area. They have a coat rack area to hang your jackets and belongings.  Enjoy the lights, music, and interactive songs for kids like the limbo, conga and freeze skate.  A fun opportunity to socialize with friends on skates and get the benefits of the activity.
The benefits of skating are simple. It’s an amazing cardio workout. It works almost every major muscle group in the body and is more beneficial than running or cycling and is a safer way to work all those muscles.  I’m sure almost everyone can agree that kids today and even busy adults need all the help they can get to stay in shape and live a healthy lifestyle and roller skating can do just that.
1.       Skating provides fluid motion that keeps you from damaging your joints, helping you enjoy skating without the harsh impact.
2.       Helps improve leg strength development
3.       Skating works legs, glutes, arms, and core as you balance your body and power through the skating motion.
4.       You can burn a lot of calories with just a few laps around the floor.

Roller skating also helps children develop motor and listening skills through different games at the rink.
At St. Mary's Roller Rink, Family Skating sessions are open to the public and are on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 1:00pm until 4:00pm. Every Friday there is also open skating from 6:00pm until 9:00pm. The cost is $4.00 per person with a maximum of $20.00 per family. Children under the age of 5 skate free! Yep that’s right so you can’t miss another opportunity to bring the little ones in to get exercise. Children 14 and younger do need to be accompanied by an adult.

St. Mary’s Roller Rink also offers private skating parties, which can be schedule with the managers prior to the date requested. They can accommodate small or large groups. Host your birthday parties, family gatherings, have a girls or guys night out, almost any occasion you can think of. For the private parties, you are allowed to bring food like frozen pizzas and they can bake them for you in the concession stand area. However, drinks must be purchased from the rink-no carry-ins. Please call the rink to get further details on prices and to find a time that best works for you.
