Pipes Skate Park 5549 Old William Penn Hwy, Export, PA
Pipes Skate Park 5549 Old William Penn Highway, Export, Pennsylvania was once a skate park in town called Export!? Yes, Export! No, not something you send out. Haha.
The town Export had that family owned skate park, period. It was both indoors and outdoor skate park. They even had a garage door to open during warm humidity Pennsylvanian Summers.
I am not sure if the main owner name was Billy. One website said Billy in the Pro-shop but nothing else.
They opened in 2003 but they closed for good in March 2016.
The Interior.
They had the indoor skate park with many different important features for the skate park to operate
The Exterior.
They did have exterior just right by the building with a big canopy over the park. You can see that in the first photo. That was genius idea to have it right by the interior. I believe you could skate right to outdoors section from interior. I feel like they did set up like you would walk out to the side of the department store to go out to the landscaping or lumber section you would find at Walmart, Lowes, The Home Depot, those sort. That gave me a roller rink design concept. I got to work on that!

Dead Rinks is now International Roller Skating Rinks History Foundation© because many former names have become new names at the same rinks that are still active and due to much confusion, We have decided that International Roller Skating Rinks History Foundation© fits better for all rinks including defunct, closed, inactive, rebooted, and rinks that are still active today. For short on this site, it is International Roller Skating Rinks History© Bear with us as we change the entire site page by page each day. Thank you for understanding.

Rinks that are closed are considered dead. Rinks that are/were sold and with new management names new name(s), the former are considered dead. Previous operating rink that closed but came back years later, are considered dead because the reopening is considered rebooted, nothing to do with the former. Since we are rebooted to allow alive rinks, active rinks, we welcome those active rinks as well. It will be described.
As for “For Office Only” is for my reasoning and private legal reason for that.
