Courtesy of Google Map. it was taken in 2011. problem with this is that it has been heavily renovated to suit a trucking company need and expansion as well. There are no original rink photographs! Anyone?
The Skatin' Place, 3820 Kennedy Road, Janesville, WI
Do not confuse this rink as the other called, Skatin' Place which is also in Janesville, WI (the North Pontiac Drive location).
The rink on this location has not as much information as it was with the North Pontiac location. I believe it was under the same owner but the difference was addition of the word, "The" to the name of the rink. Unfortunately, it also has closed and it is now a trucking company. I love the slogan for that on Google map. So funny! It says, "OH DEER! THEY ARE ON THE RUN" on its sign. Haha.
The building currently as a trucking shipping company does not appear to be a skating rink type of building. It has to be different and perhaps was demolished? Anyone know?
Rink Size: N/A Floor: N/A Floor Layout: N/A
Building Size: 9,020 SF (original) then expanded for different business, became 9,900 SF Built: 1996. Has expanded under new owner and sold.
Roof: Low pitch Gable
Operated: 1993 (opened 1996 to ?)
Reason for Closure: N/A
Wanted: Information regarding actual open date, closed date, why out of business. Needs orginial photographs of rink interior and exterior before it became a truck repair shop and now trucking company. All info about the building is under current expansion or original size. Needs true original information.
