The only thing the same is the original rink. An arcade room was added, there are pool tables, fooze-ball, and air hockey. You can also order snack foods (soft pretzels, nachos, soft drinks, etc...). Party areas have also been added. The place is SOOOO much better than it once was and my kids LOVE to go! Prices aren't bad at all. Going here is a fun, cheap way to entertain your kids for an entire day! Tiring them out so they'll go to bed early, sleep all night, and sleep late the next morning is just an added bonus. LOL! ;)

The Knockers originally rolled at the old House of Wheels Skating Rink off of Barksdale Blvd in Bossier City. There, people, rinkheads, rollerheads, whatever they may be, would load up large toting coolers full of canned beer, for these matches then, were a BYOB sitch, and they would also use their own coolers multi-purpose also for seating around the track, as they all watched the ladies roll around crashing and colliding into one another. Now, the Knockers call the Bossier Civic Center their home rink. It seems much more suitable, larger, more spacious and comfortable. Although there is no BYOB in this facility. The ladies still bring it, that is, they still bring their inner beast. And they bring it with funny monikers for themselves. Matches are $15 at the door.

They encourage interaction between the players and the fans at halftime. The atmosphere is family friendly and children under 12 (I believe) get in for free.

After hearing the word pussy over and over during a song I went and asked the guy at the front what the deal is. He did change the song but the proceeded to tell me that the system will not play songs with profanity in them the system edits the words out ( so basically calling me a liar). So if you don't want your children hearing this type of profanity I would stay away from this place because they made it pretty clear that is the kind of music they play there and the management or owner however the old guy is at the window is rude and will just call you a liar to your face. Will never return to this business for any reason

Kids were running, yes I wrote running, out on the floor chasing each other, playing tag, taking each other's hats or belongings and playing keep away. They would dodge in and out of people who were wearing skates. The kids would skate in the wrong direction and go head on with others, strangers included. Kids would be wrestling with each other, some even had skates on. There were no employees monitoring the rink floor. Someone in the snack bar would occasionally announce on the intercom to "stop running on the floor". That obviously worked so well. All that chaos aside, the music was so boring. Slow, boring country songs. When we made a song request of a clean pop song, the employee just appeared annoyed. Our request hadn't been played. The chaos became too much and we left, with a refund. I truly hope the owner takes our concerns under advisement and makes some changes because their business is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I took a hike with my little man to see the pine trees lined up and then the next morning took my daughter the short way. The kids loved the lake and my mom loved the fishing.

I didn't get a chance to go on the island and I'd really like to go back to do that trail.

So, after Thanksgiving, I was already in East TX and decided to drive to the park to check it out. Checkin was easy at the ranger headquarters. I went inside to purchase a magnet. Their stickers selection was limited and the designs were unappealing. My first impression with the creek lake that it was very beautiful and reminded me of Lake Catherine State Park in Arkansas. The beach portion doesn't allow dogs, so I just viewed it from the park. There's a total of three trails. I found one, but not the other. I searched high and low to find it, but was unsuccessful. I ended up going on the Island Trail. The view of the power plant was nice. The plant was loud. The Island trail was a smooth hike. The path is covered in pine needles and if you look closely, you can find armadillos, rabbits, and field mice. Now the camping portion was very crowded and the sites were close to each other. I didn't see any private sites. It reminded me of Blanco State Park; where you're just close enough to your neighbors where you can see and hear them. How fun! This park isn't worth coming back to explore. I didn't like it much.
