Philly, get ready to own the summer! July is heating up, and so is our skate scene. The absolute must-do this month is the incredible weekly meetup hosted by Great on Skates! Every Sunday, they’re bringing the community together for a free, street-style dance skate session outside Lloyd Hall on Boathouse Row. It’s the perfect vibe for everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned pros looking to share their flow.
Once you’ve picked up some new moves at the Sunday jam, you’ll need the perfect place to practice, and our community just uncovered a gem. We’ve added the iconic MLK Drive / Schuylkill River Trail to the Let’s Roll app! It’s the ideal spot for a long, smooth, scenic roll. This month is all about getting outside, connecting with other skaters, and exploring the amazing pavement Philly has to offer.
Fresh Pavement: Your New Favorite Spot!
The Philly community is always on the lookout for the best places to roll, and this month’s top discovery is a classic: the **MLK drive/ Schuykill river trail**. With its smooth surfaces and beautiful river views, it’s perfect for distance skating, practicing your footwork, or just a relaxing sunset cruise. Check it out on the app and add your own review!
