Rolling Wheels 731 Morris Ave, Green Bay, WI
Rola-Rena Skating Rink 731 Morris Ave, Green Bay, (Ashwaubenon), WI
Rolling Wheels Skating Rink was established before The Rola-Rena Skating Rink. It is in Green Bay where the home of the Packers is. This rink has not much information at all but only now as Rola-Rena. A comment by a fan of the rink in Yelp said the lady who runs it currently ran the rink for 40 years. That dates back to the late 1970s. But it is so vague and no information regarding to the Rolling Wheels. It may have revised at least a couple of times for the rink since it was Rolling Wheels.
What I can tell you it is gabled roof red brick front warehouse style exterior and the interior has large exposed trusses to support without any posts to hold up the rink. Any photos as Rolling Wheels would be awesome. Please let me know!
Rink was operational for 47 years (as of June 2019). Likely same owner between Rolling Wheels and Rola-Rena. But not sure.
