UPDATE and Great News From Jackson Skating Center in Jackson, NJ

Recently, I wrote an article about the Jackson Skating Center closing in Jackson, NJ. The only roller skating place in Ocean County.

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news, but it's true.

From the Jackson Skating Center Facebook:

Jackson Skating Center has brought decades of skating fun to Ocean County residents and beyond. After opening in 1978, they've had so many great years. I have so many wonderful memories.

I remember the first time I took Abby there, she absolutely loved it. She was 4. The price was great the skate rental was so reasonable. It's a place where we've laughed, met with friends, had birthday parties, and just had fun.

I had Abby's 10th and 11th birthday parties at the skating center, that's how much she loved it. And, let's just say the pizza was delicious. I don't know what they did to make the pizza so good, but it always was.

This is pretty cool, Jackson Skating Center is giving away a $5 off general admission coupon on their Facebook page now through October 2nd, 2022. Rent skates for $5 or bring your own.

I love how Jackson Skating Center wrote on their Facebook page, "Come and roll with us in our last coming weeks."
