Read full description

Find real skating spots, real conditions, and real events, all in one place. Rink Report is a live directory of roller skating rinks, parks, trails, and shops in the US, Canada, and a growing list of countries around the world, built by skaters for skaters. See what is actually happening right now, not a stale listing: • Near me: sort spots and events by distance, in miles or kilometers • Live conditions: floor smoothness, crowd level, music, rental wait times, and more, reported by skaters who are there • Spot details: hours, surface type, wheel policy, parking, entry cost, and whether a place is beginner-friendly • Events: sessions, pop-ups, and skate nights with real dates, flyers, and ticket links • Map: every rink, park, and trail, with clusters you can zoom into • Hosts: find instructors, DJs, and skate crews, and follow the ones you skate with • Crews: chat with your crew and share your location when someone asks where you are • Skate Log: log your sessions, build a streak, earn levelled badges, keep track of your gear, add your skating workouts from Apple Health, and see your streak in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Favorites and Want to Go: keep track of your regular spots and the ones you plan to try • First Strides: a beginner guide and a skills dictionary written by instructors • Rinks for Sale: browse rinks, pop-up floors, and equipment listed by the people selling them Roll Safe: skate solo with a safety net Roll Safe is a check-in timer. Pick your spot and a return time. If you do not check back in, we alert the emergency contact you chose by SMS and email, sent from our servers so they go out even if your phone is dead. Premium adds automated voice calls and up to 3 contacts. It is not an emergency service, it cannot contact 911, and it is not live tracking. Free to use. Sign in to save favorites, report conditions, and use Roll Safe, or browse signed out. Some extras, such as unlimited video on reports and events, crews you can create and lead, and Roll Safe voice calls with 3 emergency contacts, are part of an optional Premium plan. Spots are mapped across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Oceania, and Africa, with more added as the community reports them. Know a place we are missing? Submit it from the app. Premium (optional) Premium adds unlimited video on reports and events, crews you can create and lead, 3 emergency contacts with automated voice call alerts in Roll Safe, alerts for every favorite spot, and Skate Log depth (year in review, gear care, GPX and FIT import, rink ratings). Choose Premium Monthly ($9.99 a month) or Premium Annual ($59.99 a year), both auto-renewing subscriptions, or the Founder Special ($199.00, one time, lifetime, no renewal). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. A membership you already have from rinkreport.app works here with the same account. Terms of Use: https://rinkreport.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://rinkreport.app/privacy
