Calgary's only roller skating rink is officially opening and it's going to be a party
It’s official: Calgary is finally going to see the return of a dedicated roller skating rink and there’s going to be a big party to celebrate!
House of Skate announced on Wednesday afternoon that the rink will open for the first time on February 23.
The opening marks exactly seven years after the iconic Lloyd’s Roller Rink closed after being in business for decades.

There will be a big opening extravaganza, with adult classes, members-only open skates, DJs and more. There will be two days of activities with a light installation reveal taking place, and even a mixtape night.
The project was started by Calgary Roller Skate, an organization that has kept the spirit of roller skating alive in the city since Lloyd’s closed, offering pop-up roller rink events, learn-to-skate classes, and even hosting Canada’s only roller skate festival.
The organization has been teasing the launch of the rink since last year, with progress updates regularly being shared on social media.
