What’s up, Philly skaters! July was an absolutely incredible month for rolling in the City of Brotherly Love. Our community was on fire, adding a ton of fantastic new outdoor spots perfect for soaking up the summer sun. It’s clear that long, scenic trail skates are the vibe right now, and we are here for it!
While we had a blast and just said a fond farewell to the pop-up Rothman Orthopaedics Roller Rink at Dilworth Park, the fun is rolling right into August. The main event this month is definitely the Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Summerfest, offering awesome skating with killer views of the Delaware River. Between the community-scouted trails and this epic rink, August is shaping up to be the best month of the summer!
