Since closing our doors on March 17, 2020 we have been busy behind the scenes doing everything we can to make sure we are ready to re-open as soon as it is safe for us to do so. And that direction of safety will come from the state first and then the county. As much as we would like to just “open up already” we understand science and respect the decisions made by those doing their best to keep us all safe and healthy.
A group of Roller Rink owners and operators from around the state of California have joined together and hired advocates to work with the state to help determine the guidelines in which we can open. As of right now, the State has us not being able to open until our county enters the Yellow Tier and at that time we would be allowed to open at 50% capacity. While we understand their reticence in allowing us to open sooner, we feel we can open in an earlier tier with a smaller capacity. We can still use your help to assist us with paying for the advocates Please donate on our GoFundMe page.
Last week our advocates and a rink operator representative attended a conference call with the Governor’s office. During that call they pretty much stuck to the no opening until the yellow tier, but did agree on us attending a conference call with the State Department of Health to discuss possible ways we can make our rinks safer and possibly open sooner.
Know that we ALL dedicated to opening our businesses as soon as safely possible and we are working hard to make sure that you and your families once again can enjoy roller skating as a fun, inexpensive way to spend a day or evening together. We appreciate that some of you are getting your exercise of roller skating outdoors and worry about the cold and rainy weather that is upon us. It is our hope to have you skating indoors before that happens.
We miss all of you immensely. Not just the business that you bring to the rink, but the family that you all have become. We have celebrated, birthdays, weddings and memorials with many of you and will cherish those memories.
Please be patient with us, wear a mask and maintain physical distance.
