You can see the Grey building with the pallets by where the front doors used to be. Likely two doors. It is all boarded up now. Garage doors added and the gabled building to the left in this photo likely was added after the rink.
Happy Days Skateland, 1808 Summit, Yankton, SD
River City Skateland, 1808 Summit, Yankton, SD
This was a roller rink sometime ago. There is no information except I have as two tings. An obituary and it says it is an activities center.
However, I think I made right judgement that it was this building if you can see in the photo. Because of the address as 1808, not 1801 which is where the activities center.
Anyway, there are no photos. So, unfortunately I could not go further on that part but I can tell you about this was a Gable roof sheet metal warehouse like building. Right now, it has two vehicle garage doors. But likely the front was at front corner of the building where the wood pallets are stacked up. It is a wall now. Apparently there is no door to walk in but the garage doors itself. It is now operationing by Department of Public Works. The sign on the corner says so.
Since I have no photos of when it was as a rink, I have no photos of interior so...
Lyle McLeod started the rink and likely sold it in 1994 to two men, a Jr and Henry J. Gran. But must have sold it back to Henry and Laurie Gran on Monday August 17, 1987 and put a new floor and new sound system.
However, there was River City Skateland which was filed on July 26, 1995 according to Bizapedia.
