Fall weather is perfect outdoor skating weather! Fresh, cool air, the rink to yourself (if you’re lucky), some music…that’s the good stuff. To help you take advantage of this beautiful weather and work on your skills at the same time, we’ve compiled a list of outdoor skating spots around Kansas City. There are wheels made specifically for outdoor use that are softer and can handle debris that you may encounter on an outdoor track. Such wheels can be purchased at Derby4All KC. Some skaters just use old wheels they had retired from regular, indoor use. Like all things derby gear, it is preference, but it is not recommended that you use your current set of indoor wheels as they may get damaged during outdoor skating. Always make sure you are padded up when practicing your skating and derby skills!
Pick a spot, grab your gear, and get your outside skate on!

Macken Park, North Kansas City, MOWheel Park has a really nice, paved trail that is perfect for skating. Poker Haunches, a former Deadly Siren, skates there frequently and has figured that 2 laps is about one mile.
