    Synonymous to the Oak Park facility, DSC has a rustic, early American flavour. It's inviting, cozy…read moreatmosphere pulls you in and surrounds you like a big fluffy blanket. To boast three sheets of ice in modern day rinks is almost unheard of. These folks juggle that with no problem. All the ice here is expertly maintained. You'll always hear me bitch at the figure skaters for destroying the ice with toe picks and as such blowing-out the knees of unsuspecting hockey players. Not here. The magicians seem to anticipate this and react accordingly. Smooth sheets. Safe knees! There's a rather large parking area and you'll find quite the variety at the concession stand. Their main lobby also features plenty of bench seating and they have an ample meeting area. The bathrooms are decent but are at the rink ends, not off the main lobby. What few staff you deal with are fabulous and you can still visit Mrs. Jones and her top notch pro shop. While two of the arenas have more than enough bleacher space, the smaller rink needs more seating. That can't (or won't) be changed, sobeit. Costs obviously have increased due to Covid and its tentacles. They do have sophisticated aids and are still the goto for figure skating instruction. Competitive skaters/trainers from all over the world stop here to train. Did you know they have a physical therapy center on site? 06/21

    2017-10-22. The New Rink is located in Shelby Twp, MI. It has it's own parking lot with literally…read morehundreds of parking spaces. Last known as Maxx Play, the 90K sq. ft. facility was also the former home for a plethora of businesses that failed the test of time. From bounce castles, to paintball, to Whirlyball before it. The place was shut down in 2009's and it sat empty for a couple of years. In 2011, the new owners refurbished and renovated, and reopened as The New Rink Roller Sports Complex. Some of the original decor remained, the original entrance, the wood floor skating area, and those globe chandeliers. And with the vast space, they were able to maintain most of the original businesses. In addition to the rink, A separate section with bounce houses remained, as well as a separate section for an arcade. There was also a closed off section I wasn't quite able to see, but it looked like another rink (Roller Hockey? Private party?). And, of course, facilities for parties, complete with a snack bar. Lastly, there is a pro shop to cover all sorts of repairs and carries items for you to purchase. But the reason why I'm writing about this place is simply because it exists. With a bowling alley up the street, two trampoline parks and a rock climbing gym nearby, and a laser tag facility down the street, this rink rounds out activities nicely for the area. During the summer, they have admission specials and skate programs to help occupy our kids and getting in some physical activity to boot! 4 stars overall. For those of you wondering, I think the Paint Ball business is still there. I didn't see an entrance from the inside, so I'm assuming it's only accessible from the plaza. If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company.

    Unfortunately, my family and I just left the rink and when I went to the bathroom near the roller…read morerink not only are there only three stalls, one toilet was clogged, the stall that sits behind a brick wall door was locked which only left one stall that was being used. Then, when my daughter and I went to the woman bathroom near the soccer/ hockey rink there was a man using the bathroom with the stall door open. He did not flush the toilet or wash his hands and when we told the rental manager she said " oh they do that all the time" as if it was ok and normal.

    Amazing!!!!!! If you want to really learn how to skate AND have a great time, come here! I just…read morefinished an 8 week class of "Skate Basics+Fitness". I hadn't roller skated since I was 12 and now I'm a really confident skater. It's a great workout too! You won't get this kind of attention and instruction anywhere else. This place focuses on adult skaters, age 21 and older. The classes are small. I took a class for one hour on Sundays with the same 8 people and we kept building upon what we learned. Adjustments and modifications are available for people with injuries too. We had students of all ages in this class, from 30's to 70's and we could all do it and work at our level. This personalized type of class doesn't exist anywhere else. Also, on Wednesday nights at 8:30pm, you can come here and practice and skate for $10. (They have free parking available out front.) I had the good fortune to be taught by the owner, Keith. Keith is a spectacular skater and human being. He is kind, patient, funny, and an excellent teacher. He has truly built a supportive skating community and I'm honored to be a part of it. Keith offers a variety of classes and he is also working on new classes to offer. He's open to ideas and feedback too. I'll be taking a class on outdoor skating next, as well a workshop on backwards skating. Learning how to skate here was the best decision I've made in a long time. I highly recommend taking class and joining this awesome skating community!

    Keith is a patient and understanding instructor. If you're looking for a rink with great music and…read morefriendly skaters this is the place to go.

They do lock-in skating events usually during holidays mostly. There are tables for the folks that aren't skating and they have Wi-Fi and a parent room that's quieter. Two seat high tables along the fence for the minor kids and a bunch of random couches by the main entrance. The parent room provides a bit of shelter from the constant noise of wheels rolling over metal plates at the top and bottom of a ramp. The interior is a big open warehouse. Fenced in for the skaters. Not fancy, but lots of different ramps for skateboarding, rollerblading or for razor scooters. My nephew wanted to try out every ramp to see which one was to his liking. Do bring a book, noise canceling headset and maybe a phone charger too. If you need snacks, Kroger is just across Stephenson and Penn Station subs just a half a mile away. They do have some snacks in the 3 vending machine. Probably a bit more fun coming with friends. My nephew felt a bit comfy after a half hour of getting the lay of the land. It can feel a bit chilly in the warehouse. My nephew said there's some fun ramps and runs, he was getting toasty running around some. Not me. He walks some and studies them ahead of skating to see what's on the other side to make sure there aren't any stairs on the other side of a ramp. My nephew likes the two half circle ramp with the flat landing in between. He also enjoyed the bowl, which has a slope to enter it.
