SKATE GOLDEN
GATE is a 5 day celebration of roller
skating and inline skating in the greatest city in
the world – San Francisco!!! This event celebrates
46 years since the birth of the Golden Gate Park
Skate Patrol which was formed to keep roller skating
from being banned in Golden Gate Park. We are
inviting skaters from far and wide to come to San
Francisco and experience our fun, exciting and
unique skating culture that sets the trends that
others around the world are following today.
Indoors and outdoors, inline and quad. Disco, Hip
Hop and even Goth. One nation under a groove.
That’s the San Francisco way.
The highlight will be a roller skating rink we have
created just steps away from the Golden Gate Bridge.

good here
This is San
Francisco’s Roller Disco. It 2013 we had a skate
part here and it never ended. We transformed this
old, empty, dusty Catholic church into a unique San
Francisco roller skating experience. This is a prime
example of repurposing old historic buildings for
roller skating and making them useful for the
community. The doors will be open on Tuesday,
Friday, Saturday and we’ll
end Skate Week San Francisco here on Sunday night.

The San Francisco Friday Night
Skate
In 1989 the Loma
Prieta Earthquake shut down the Embarcadero Freeway
that flowed along the San Francisco waterfront.
Skaters from the Skate Patrol began skating on it at
night. By the time it was torn down we had an
entire route through the City. The Friday Night
Skate was born.
Skaters will meet
at 1 Embarcadero at the Ferry Building at 9PM. They
will skate a 12 mile loop through the City rolling
through all the hot spots. Pier 39, Fisherman’s
Wharf, The Marina, The Place of Fine Arts, the
Broadway Tunnel, Union Square, the Concrete Canyons
and back to the Ferry Building. There are plenty of
stops along the way. This ain’t no roller disco, but
it is a funky good time!!! |

6th Ave. Skatin’
Place Golden Gate Park
This area has been the center of
skating in Golden Gate Park since 1986. Over the
years it has been repaved, enlarged and recently
redesigned to the magnificent public outdoor roller
skating facility you see today. It is a shining
example of what should be in every city for roller
skaters. We will have open skating here on Saturday
all day and the Skaters Showcase.
The San Francisco Skaters
Showcase
The
San Francisco Skaters’ Showcase is an exhibition of
the joy of skating. Skaters will perform their
routines in Singles, Couples and Groups. It is not a
competition, but an exhibition of the talent skaters
will share with the public. This will begin at 2:00
P.M. and end at 4:00 P.M. At 3:00 P.M., we will
present SF Rec and Parks General Manager Phil
Ginsburg with the World Champion Belt as he is a
truly Champions of San Francisco, Golden Gate Park
and JFK Promenade. Afterwards will do what we do
every Sunday in Golden Gate Park. Skate and have a
funky good time. |
