One of the most fun things to do on blades is night skating with other people, be it around a city or at a skate park. Night skates vary in size from city to city from a handful of skaters up to 10,000+ depending on the city and season. I have put together a list of many night skates around the world.

Melbourne, Australia – Tuesday Night Skate
Urban City Skate
The skate travels either toward Black Rock direction which is 16km total, or to St.Kilda , a 12km round trip. The St.Kilda skate is more friendly to newer skaters as it is mostly flat (other than crossing over the bridge over the canal) and the pathway is not close to the road. Black Rock direction has some pathway very close to the road around Dendy St. area. It is also slightly hilly in this area, so if that is a concern, please wait a week to do a St.Kilda run. We want to see you enjoy the skate and have fun and not be terrified
This weekly skate every Tuesday night, leaving Middle Brighton Baths at 7pm. Please aim to be at the carpark by 6.45 to pay for parking and get your gear on. When it is hot, this carpark can be very busy. Note: The skate has a break over winter from 1st July to start of Daylight Savings. Any questions, please call Andrea on 0412 593 529, or the shop on 9555 7988.
