Surrey City Arena Roller Skating Adventure

Take yourself back to the 80s with a fun night with friends roller skating disco style.  Public roller skating is every Saturday night at Surrey City Arena from 8-10pm.  I have to admit that I was hesitant at first because I didn't know what to expect.

But I dusted off my roller blades and ventured to Surrey.  Disco roller blading or skating is totally different than rollerblading around the seawall.  It's dark with disco lights flashing that sets you in a club mode and the top 80s music is blasting in the arena.

Everyone fits in at public roller skating.  There are teenagers hanging out with their friends, parents teaching their kids how to skate, the professional roller derby gang, and middle aged skaters.   You will always have those who skate well and fast, and those who cling to the walls.  No matter what your level you can find the space.  Or you can take a break at the picnic tables or at the benches along side the rink.  While you take a break from skating, people watch.  You won't be able to take your eyes off the professional roller derby girls who skate around with speed and some were even doing jumps and tricks in the center of the rink.  Of course you also see their falls but they just jump back up with speed. 

The folks are Surrey City Arena are pretty easygoing and friendly.  It's a comfortable roller skating community and definitely worth a try! Cheap entertainment with friends for $10 including rentals.
