SIGN UP The seasonal rink said farewell to its regulars, fans, and new skaters at the end of summer 2024, but with a new spot in Mission Viejo, and the return of the Long Beach rink, summer 2025 is looking most excellent.
Shayna Meikle, the owner of Pigeon's Roller Skate Shop and a Long Beach local, is behind the pop-up, which welcomes people who skate daily and those trying it out anew (or returning to it after time away).
The Long Beach rink is open daily, with a later goodbye on Fridays and Saturdays; do check the hours and prices before you go, and the waiver info, too.

Want to find new things to do in Los Angeles? The Scene's lifestyle stories have you covered. Here's your go-to source on where the fun is across SoCal and for the weekend.
Mission Viejo has a four-day skate schedule, beginning each week on Thursday.
While straight-up (but never straightforward) skating, with a great hi-fi providing the soundtrack, is the Pigeon's way, you'll find a number of theme events on the calendar.
The hits of Y2K will summon the Spirit of 2000 later in May in Mission Viejo, with a Pajama Party night also adding flair to the schedule.
Whichever rink you roll for, you'll want all of the details, from prices to times; lace up and glide by this site now for the fun-formation you need.
