Roller Skating

Saturday afternoon roller skating continues with a throwback — roller derby! Ketchikan's large indoor spaces have always hosted a multitude of activities shielded from the rain. Whether it's the Civic Center transformed into a roller rink or the Ketchikan Gateway Recreation Center morphing into a flat track for roller derby, community spaces provide important opportunities for people of all ages to play hard.
