    It was my first time here and I am really into trying to see if I would like in line skates. I know how to ice skate so I heard it is similar. One thing that is different is that the right heel is where you break. This place had couple of different types of skates so the variety is there. The rink is pretty big and has a practice area which is good for people that are trying different fun ways to skate like SKATING backwards haha. The price is pretty up there for two people it was $30 and so we stayed until it closed. But time passes by real quick. The next day some of my coworkers were saying they were sore so it is definetely good work out.

    Open skate!

    I used to come to Riverside when I was just a kid. Loved open skating to sweet jams with my friends. It had been about 18 years since I last visited but a couple of years ago I got a new pair of roller skates so I've been enjoying some skate time here. First off the rink is pristine. The first time I went on my skates was at a park and I completely wiped out on a rouge stick and severely injured my tailbone. Needless to say I was nervous about getting back on them. I shouldn't have been worries. Riverside's rink is smooth as glass. Rolling there is MUCH easier (and safer) than the outdoors, especially if you're learning (or relearning in my case) to work those wheels. Speaking of learning--If you're new to skates they do have a space that's available for practicing just off the rink. That really helped me get comfortable again without feeling freaked out by all the people whizzing past me. Tunes are stellar. During family open skate (wednesday nights) they have a nice mix of throwback jams like All-4-One, New Kids on the Block, Michael Jackson, and such, but also so top 40 hits. Great music to skate to. Looking for ALL throwback? Thursday nights are 70, 80s, and 90s night. I haven't been to that yet but it's on my list of things to do for sure. They also have adults only skate on Sundays from 8-10pm. That's nice if you're daunted by all the little kids on the rink doing WAY better than you. ;) If you've got kids family open skate (Wednesday and Saturday nights) is great and they've also got teen night on Fridays, family matinee on Saturdays, and learn to skate and preschool sessions as well. Prices are REALLY reasonable. Open skate varies from $4.50 to $8 plus skate rental (roller skates and inline skates available--$2-4). I was also really impressed that they had skates for little kids, too. I think I saw a girl as small as 2 out there with her dad! Never too early to start, I guess! Concession stand available if you want a snack. Admittedly I haven't eaten anything there (not even during our Yelp gathering, I was too busy skating!) but they do have pizza and such. They also hold special events like Valentine's Day or Halloween skates so if you're inclined to party on wheels it's worth keep an eye on their website!

    This is a nice skating rink. There's a beginner area for you to warm up/teach yourself how to skate. After that, head to the big arena and skate to your heart's content to the song selection of the DJ. My only regret is my gf wasn't there so I could partake in the couple's skate songs! The food is meh. Don't come hungry. The bathrooms are nice and clean, thanks goodness. The staff at the concession stand could look a little happier.

    A strong two thumbs up mate!

    Okay, we scored some free admission coupons to this place. We're not big skaters. The kids do pretty well though, so off we went. My first impression: friendly, clean, and different then the other rinks I've visited. Different? How so you ask? First, it's layout is so skate focused. The party/snack area is off in one corner, the arcade in another. A beginner's area occupies a corner and the entrance takes the last. Second, everything worked. I've taken the kids to places where some lockers were broken, or the bathrooms lacked soap or tissue. Not here. It all worked. Third, there are mini lessons during the beginner skate session. Talk about value and convenience! I spent most of the session skating. I usually spend more time on my butt. And lastly, the family liked it right off the bat. The music met parental approval (most of the music at least), the kids felt like they had room to breath, the small skating area was great for getting acquainted with the skates, and there were other kids of all ages and skill levels there. No one was 'the "loser" that can't skate'. Yep, we will be back (even if I don't have a coupon).

They boast clean locker rooms and a NHL sized sheet of ice. Not just ice hockey and figure skating. They have nice roomy open skate sessions. Most times this is followed by a fun event called "Sticks & Pucks. The large ice surface is perfect for this. You can also rent the facility for birthday parties or pickup hockey. You might even have other events in mind. There's plenty of space for nearly any ice activity. The staff I encountered was friendly and efficient.

Roughly 14 years later, the Plymouth Bowl was closed in 1992, due to the age of the equipment and its much needed replacement. With the growing interesting in hockey as a high school sport in Michigan, local businessman John Stansik and several others decided to buy this place and turn it into hockey arena. Currently, this arena is home to Victory Honda AAA Hockey Club, The Livonia Ladywood Girls Varsity Hockey Club, Kim Muir's "Can't Skate, Can't Play" power skating clinics, and the RSPI Adult Hockey League, where I was able to catch one of their games. With no end to the current NHL lockout in sight, you can attend one of the many events that take place at this local arena. Arctic Pond features the EDGEZ Pro-Shop, which can help you with all of your equipment needs. Moreover, the part I like the most is it doesn't cost an arm and leg to attend the events here. So if you're craving the live-action of a hockey game, this is the place to visit in the Metro Detroit area.

It is safe and flat to approach building even for those with canes or in wheelchairs. Baby Carriages also will have no problem. The rooms are reasonably priced and in great condition. They certainly provide a great service to the community. The outer coverings will need to be updated in at least the next two seasons. They are worse for wear but still not unattractive. The best thing, I feel, about this building is it shape and design. Inside it takes on much the aspect of a small sports arena, and that's fine because there is an ice rink here. Outside the building has a modern look and sweeping lines. Unexpected in this small, quiet, residential neighborhood. The seating outside the building features comfortable benches. This is good and convenient but the smoking pylons are pushed up against them so anyone seated would need to deal with the smell or the possibility of a smoker making an appearance. There are two small areas that appear to be gardens but are more like gathering places and entryways. They are picturesque. At least one of the rooms has a wall completely set out in mirrors which is very attractive. There is a lot of light in that room and combined with the straight curtains it provides a classical 1960's look that is clean and bright while still being modern.
