O'Fallon Skateland 16 Sanders Dr., O’fallon, MO. You noticed it has been renovated. Three businesses are in that building. Renovated exterior to update look and new dormers and doors. Please notice how nice that old yellow Ford pickup truck in the photo. Pretty nice! I like it! Taken in 2018. Source: Google.
O'Fallon Skateland 16 Sanders Dr., O'Fallon, MO
This used to be a roller rink in O'Fallon, Missouri. Not much information at all either. Found it was already renovated as plaza in the former rink (Gable roof warehouse with added windows and stores splitting up the 29,621 SF building). The date on Loop Net showed a space was available to fill in according to the year 2013. It must have been remodeled long before that. I tried to find information regarding to the rink but no available. Just list of name of rink and address here or there. Please any information, send it to me at [email protected]. Thank you.
UPDATE! --
I received an email today from a skater who skated at this rink, O' Fallon. Here is what the email has to say --
I went there many times as a kid. No photos but I can describe it: windowless building probably built in the 1940s, exterior painted blue. Had a snack bar, 1960s pinball machines and a few arcade games. Five dollars got you a pretty good time.
Hmm, shucks. Tough to find pictures, I know. 1940s? Maybe the rink was opened back then? 1960s.. sounds like they either opened that in that decade or installed those games in 1960s. Thank you so much for your help. A start. Will need more information such as when they first opened and closed. Truly one of the mystery.
The Interior.
Free Span It was a small simple likely Maple wood floor roller rink. Maybe. And it simply had a snack bar, 1960s pinball machines and a few arcade games.
The Exterior.
Free Span Steel Trusses, Concrete/Cinderblock Gabled Roof Warehouse-like Building. The walls were painted blue. I do not know what shade. It was windowless building.
The building went major changes according to USGS. They had a flat roof front facing on the side (See photo, you will see 2 garage doors). It was that side with the garage door. You can know that was the main entrance to the rink likely with the snack bar, restrooms, etc. I believe it was in 2010, maybe 2009, they got rid of that extension prompting as major renovations.
The Stats:
Rink Size: N/A Floor: Maple? Floor Layout: N/A
Building Size: 29,621 SF Built: 1940s? Renovated: 2010. Demolished: Still standing.
Type of Building: Free Span Steel Trusses, Concrete/Cinderblock Gabled Roof Warehouse-like Building.
Roof: Gabled.
Acres: 0.6800 AC.
Operated: N/A
Reason for Closure: N/A. Now a converted to shopping plaza.
Wanted: Information regarding exact dates of open/closed, why closed, size of rink, rink materials. Also photos/articles. Anyone knows or have photos, please let me know by emailing at [email protected]. Thank you. You can also use this form.
