Courtesy of Google Map. Top is the exterior. Very movie theater look of modern day appearance with that Blue Marquee like. Bottom is the interior. Wow! I love flea markets, thrift stores, and antique shops. Nice stuff there! Too bad not a retro rink anymore.

This was the final of the three rinks, the Roll-O-Rena 3 that JoAnn and Delmar Jones opened and operated which was on South Sunset Street, Longmont, Co. The naming of the rinks sounds like the final trilogy of a motion picture. But it was not motion pictures. It was the final in series of rinks they opened and closed.
The Jones opened this final rink in February 1979. They ran the 21,000-square-foot rink till their retirement in 1986 but the next owner closed it down in 2003. It became Front Range Mercantile Indoor Flea Market which is operational. From what I see the Flea Market, wow, a lot of interesting finds on Google Map inside the place! Real nice! I did that to find what it was like inside for the rink. The ceiling helps. The floor looked like concrete. I am not sure if it was concrete or it was wood for the rink.
When the Jones retired in 1986, they sold to a new owner who renamed it as Sunset Skateland which was operational till 2003. The rink closed and sold the building on July 7, 2004 to the owners of the flea market for 1.22 Million Dollars according to Realty Trac.
The Interior.
The interior was unknown much especially the floor. But I can see it is a low hung ceiling with rows of Free-Span Steel Trusses wall to wall. Not one of those thin ones and they are closely tight which is good for a state like Colorado because of the snow.
They painted white inside but I am not sure what color it was when it was a rink. A lot of changes happened in that building and the rails are gone. Must be it was removed after the rink closed by the next owner.
Anyone has pictures, Please let me know.
The Exterior.
Currently as a flea market, the appearance looked more like modern movie theater. With large marquee like front and long rectangular building on a forked road corner.
Not much to explain but it is a Flat roof Free-Span Truss building.
