A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

Old roller rink’s future is up in the air

Written April 7th, 2024 by Hasso Hering

A group billing itself as The Albany Social Club has dropped its attempt to buy the former Skateway roller rink at 725 Montgomery St. S.E. It didn’t have the money for the purchase and would have had to meet extensive city requirements before it could have used the building for meetings or events.
