DESCRIPTION:Bring your best skating routines or just roll along to the music for the third annual Nature Skate Day. The parking lots by Groves 13 & 14 will turn into a roller rink under the lights as a DJ fills the air with music. Helmets are required and there will be limited helmets available. Struggling Black Girl Magic Club will also be on hand to give out free skating equipment (while supplies last). Bicycles are welcome but they will be asked to remain outside of the skating loop. All ages and abilities are welcome to this free event! Drop-ins welcome\, but registration is encouraged.
