Owner Jayme Haney announced on Facebook that they are pushing hard to be open by June of this year. He noted the rink floor will fit 350 skaters, the facility will have six private party rooms - which will glow - with retractable walls to make even larger party rooms if needed, an arcade with 40 video games and a full snack bar.
There will also be a toddler zone for parents with older children who skate and little ones who don’t.
“We are planning all types of special skating sessions, including Thursday nights as adult night!” Haney wrote. “We wanted to bring something fun for everyone to the area and hope you will all support us.”
The property was annexed into the City of Willow Park on Jan. 9. The nearest roller skating rinks to Parker County are Rollerland West in Fort Worth and Silver Wheel Skating Center in White Settlement, both about 10 miles from Willow Park.
