(SPOT.ph) Following a sudden rise in popularity after the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, roller skating activities, and skating rinks have been popping up in and around the Metro. But with the rainy season dampening the mood and shutting down most outdoor areas, enthusiasts are now searching for affordable places to skate indoors. Lucky for Quezon City residents, a new indoor skating rink just popped up at SM City North Edsa. Grab your skates and roll at Squad Skates' newest pop-up rink starting at only P150.

Check out this new indoor skating rink at SM North Edsa:
With rates starting at P150 for 30 minutes or P200 for an hour, those looking to try skating and experience the activity in a controlled, safe area can try it out at the small rink on SM North Edsa Main Building's third floor. No need to worry about bringing your own skates, as the fees above include skate rentals and use of the rink. If you do decide to bring your own gear, the rates will still be the same.
The space is just a small area in front of the department store. It's not really made for tricks or high-speed skating but more of an area for basic practice. This is because the rink is only a pop-up and will only be at the mall until August for now. Even though it is not particularly big, don't count this space out. There is enough space for budding skaters to practice here.
Despite not being as spacious as their other rink in Fishermall, Quezon City, the area in SM North Edsa is still a nice choice for those starting out. The floors are even and smooth, plus there are rails on the sides to serve as guides and safety stops.
If you're really interested in picking up this hobby, you can even hire a coach to teach you at P300/hour on weekends.
