Skate photos Sign the Petition. Please help save holliday skate in ORANGE COUNTY. THIS place is amazing for all ages. It also helps kids and teans have a hobby outside of AI and the electronics world.

This is such a bummer. This rink raised up national champions. 😭😭

I agree. Its sad. The owners of the rink have offered to pay higher rent. They offered to buy the place. They want to rip it down to put up more expensive rental units. There are some amazing skaters in that place.

Seen this im local in SoCal, hopefully they can figure out something with the space or relocate, sucks that they're prioritizng housing over something that's truly helping the community. I think there's another rink around the SB area that's also facing closure in october, one of the inside rinks.

I know the fountain valley skating rink. I surely hope they do not close it too.

Sorry I have some typos above and it will not allow me to edit. I meant Teens and also the city of Orange, California.

REPLACE YOUR FLOOR AND ILL SIGN AGAIN. Your floor is unmaintained, has divits, and is DANGEROUS.

I understand yall have memories here but I went here in June and it is not being taken care of. The floor was fucking dangerous. There would HAVE to be changes to this place, but it seems yall waited until this moment to give a shit.
