Skateland North Point

If I could give no stars, I would. I grew up skating here and went back tonight to find the guards not doing their jobs. Kids standing on the floor and running on the floor with shoes. Little children that needed help weren’t being helped. Kids texting and not watching where they are going as they were skating. Two kids actually hit each other because kids were going the wrong way as well. If you want a skating rink with no rules then skate here otherwise don’t waste your money.

Only 6 bucks to skate the food is good and cheap & my family and I had a great time. Couldn’t ask for more.

It’s a bit run down. And the bathrooms leave a lot to be desired.
But you can skate like you did as a kid. It’d be nice if they invested a bit of money into upgrading the place. But I get that roller rinks don’t rake in big bucks these days.

My favorite rink in the greater Baltimore area. Well kept floor, enthusiastic management, and good location. This rink cares about roller skaters of all types, and works to maintain a good, safe facility.
Some folks have complained about cleanliness — but honestly, it is still above par than other area rinks in terms of things like carpet off rinks and restrooms. That’s not enough to knock off a star from my rating — for me it’s all about a maintained floor and enjoyable atmosphere.

Skateland North Point is a diamond in the rough. On one hand, you have a family-​friendly rink with off-​street parking, nestled in a relatively safe part of town. This facility has large wooden skating surface that is in impeccable shape; quite possibly one of the smoothest and most level surfaces in the region. In fact, the floor is such a dream to skate on that the Charm City Roller Girls use it as their practice arena. However, not everyone goes to a roller rink to skate. For some, atmosphere and sociability are the main concerns, and this is where Skateland North Point suffers. The place is icky. The carpets look like they have never been vacuumed and the bathrooms feel like something out of a federal prison. For this reason, it doesn’t strike me as a desirable hangout, even for the younger set.
But, if you can look past the grime, Skateland North Point does have a few redeeming qualities besides the rink surface. The snack area is quite large with several rows of tables, a snack bar, and a cleared area where extra tables and chairs can be added. It is perfectly setup for children’s birthday parties. Granted, I would suggest that any potential party planners bring their own grub because the kitchen facilities in the snack bar could use some modern updates and a bucket of bleach. Overall though, if you are interested in an affordable night of skating or an inexpensive place to throw a kid’s party, Skateland North Point is probably your best bet for safe family fun.

This rink has a nice floor, no gum or debris! It was recently refinished and is smooth except for a warped spot on the far end. Management actually cleans the rink floor at the end of skating session. Rental skates are taken care of and they have a basic selection of skates available at the «pro shop» counter near the entrance.
