Here is what babysat my kids in Okinawa... they had a youth center with an OUTDOOR RINK.... it was concrete and slightly tilted...smooooooooth and HUGE.... no cover over it....just the beautiful blue sky and the wind in your face....had some kind of rubber guard rails.. ...had a booth to rent skates...
course this was on base.... and on a semi tropic island...temps never dropped below freezing....however it rained every day...just a small shower and as soon as it was clear.. kids hounded me to go skating ... .. ..anyhooooooo..... It probably would be cost effective and maintaining not too costly...
Even in the winter... on very nice days... it could be opened ...
Have to remember tho... Kids nowadays want to stay inside .....TOO HOT OR TOO COLD outside... |
Yep we did have one but the gang bangers took it over, and nobody did anything about it, just shut down. what a shame.
