I went here with my two girls and my brother and sister in law for Sunday night family night. Immediately noticed the carpet was not clean. But the feet odor putting on the skates was inescapable. By Wednesday my 15 year old had a fever and developed hand, mouth and foot. By the weekend not only my sister in law but my 18 year old and I developed a fever and the same symptoms. Blisters on our hands and feet and mouth. The only place we had all been together was this rink. I did not notice any disinfectant being used on the skates or anywhere else. The place is pretty infectious.

1976 to 1981 this was our place every Friday and Saturday so many memories. It still looks the same. I no longer live in California but this place was a huge impact in my life. I remember when they would do all night. Skate... they would have backward boogie contest speed, skating contests to shoot the duck. So many fun memories. And they would do dancing in the middle of the floor without skates, while people skated around the outside. It was definitely the place to be. I wish I had photos from that time. T never took any pictures. I would love to see some from that time.

Heartbroken by the response I received on my personal email. For the record, I have outdoor skates that never touch your indoor floor. This is not the parking lot. And refusing to allow me to walk through the lobby and making me skate down the ramp you were talking about IS a safety issue. Blocking me from responding to you is so unkind. I also haven’t seen you chase away anyone else that rollerskates there because I’m not the only one. You should consider putting a NO SKATING sign outside your rink.

I’m genuinely saddened by how much time, energy, and care I’ve invested in trying to support this place, only to come to understand why so many people no longer do. That realization is disappointing on a deeper level than I expected. If skating isn’t permitted in the parking lot, it might be helpful to clearly communicate that—especially outside a roller rink, where one would naturally assume skating is welcome. The irony of that situation isn’t lost on me. At this point, it feels necessary to find another place to spend time with my friends—somewhere I won’t be body-shamed, discouraged from practicing skills, repeatedly asked to slow down, or now told I can’t skate outside at all. I typically skate at the mall, but I made the conscious choice to avoid that area recently due to ongoing harassment and safety concerns. I was genuinely trying to choose a safer, more appropriate environment. That’s why the logic behind these restrictions is confusing. If people are discouraged from skating inside, outside, or nearby, it raises a fair question: where exactly is this craft meant to be practiced? It’s unfortunate, because this lack of clarity and support may explain why the space struggles to stay active or attract new ownership. I wasn’t advocating for this place for personal gain—I did it simply because I cared. I truly hope the city of Citrus Heights finds a way forward, but for now, it’s time for me to step back.

Pretty nice place! Haven't been to a rink in over 20 years. So happy to have brought my children here. Will be back.
