The Corner LOOP Skating Rink 200 N Broadway St, Broken Bow, OK. The current operating rink. I love the colors coming from lights but I am seeing a bounce house on the rink floor. Bad idea. Really cutting the size of the rink. It really eats up the square foot making it so small of a rink to skate. Source: Facebook The Corner LOOP Skating Rink.

Originally, it was Skateway which was located at 200 North Broadway street in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Currently it is now The Corner LOOP Skating Rink as it is spelled that way. LOOP in capitalization, period.
Skateway began in 2002. Somewhere between 2013 and 2021, it became The Corner LOOP Skating Rink. I could not find out when they began.
I love the current operating rink's name because it truly stands out than any of the rinks I have worked on. Too few have truly stood out. Not the common denominator like.. Skateland, Skateworld, Rollerland... they all are too common. This one is original. Kudos to the couple who came up with this name. I saw their pictures and the owners look cute together. It is family owned and operated.
Regina Meek owned and operated Skateway.
As for the Corner LOOP Skating Rink, I do not know the operators' names.
The Interior.
I do not know what the interior was like when it began in 2002 for Skateway but I have pretty good idea of not much changes occurred since then because of Skateway opened in 2002. That is 20 years ago next year (this is 2021). So, They have White painted Concrete floor with White Walls and White ceiling panels over the rink.
They do have columns on the rink floor. They are cute with string lights wrapped around three posts that are on the rink floor.
However, the off-the-rink area including eating area, snack bar, etc. They have very colorful vinyl floor tiles in checkers pattern and even more so with the ceiling panels are in dark colors. All colors really. It does make that area appeared darker than the rink floor area is! I know why. Their vision is to keep the rink not too dark like many rinks in late 2010s or 2020s that has black walls, dark floors, etc. They want to focus on glow stick. But this one is not to make it too dark. I like that. I saw photos with skaters and it showed the rink area with so much lights shining the floors and walls.
So, this is well balanced in this rink and I would recommend you to check out this rink if you are local or from any where else. You might see the previous rink history still there.
I recommend you check them out. It is very simple and cute rink. I love the spectrum of light balance in there. Its heavenly when skating on their floor. And it still does off the floor with colors still attached at that part. Its all paint.
Only downside is that they put entire Plexiglas and only a window opening for food, snacks, and drinks through because of COVID. It will be gone by end of 2021 (the panic I meant) and it will be unnecessary to have it up. It is silly and costly just for a few more months. This is already June 2021.
The Exterior.
This is a very interesting concept with this rink. It appeared very industrial. Skateway had this appearance. The Corner LOOP Skating Rink continues that legacy that it keeps that Industrial look. Pewter Gray Steel or Aluminum Walled to make it looked like a supersized shipping container that are popular now for converting into houses.
Both Skateway and The Corner Loop Skating Rink has the same exterior. Just change the signs. That was all. The Skateway had it on the West Second Street but for The Corner Loop Skating Rink, it is on North Broadway Street.
Those two are the major differences if you look carefully.
One problem though. Those signs are really small. Hard to see. I noticed around that corner and I dont see signs! Is that some building code that town has limited the size or ban signs? What the Loop has is a banner actually so that is skirting around the law. I like a town that has all signs to make it easier to see and find your way there but also its marketing! Without it, no business. In my hometown, in Town of Dewitt, they have that same rule and I can see the Erie Boulevard East and ShoppingTown Mall are pretty dying and dead, respectively. Why? CODES AND RULES. Route 31 in Liverpool (Clay) are doing well except for Great Northern Mall because malls are so 20th Century. Stores have big signs but you still have to look and its packed on the road. You cannot drive through that section during Christmas shopping season after Thanksgiving on Route 31. Takes you an hour through 1 block. Yes. Packed! Not the Erie Boulevard. You got to have signs in order to do business.
That is my opinion. My disclaimer.
