Situated in Center Court of the outdoor mall, the 1,400-square-foot rink will offer one-hour skating sessions for ages 5 and up from Saturday, August 17 through Monday, September 2 (Labor Day). The $10 admission fee includes complimentary skate rental (but if you’ve held onto yours since 1982, you’re welcome to use those instead).
Music will enhance the experience, as will occasional theme nights, such as '80s night, disco night, and teen night, among others. Rink hours are Monday–Saturday from noon–8pm, and Sunday from 1–6pm.
Every year, the Cross County Shopping Center presents assorted outdoor attractions as part of its SummerFest program of live events. The roller rink rounds out the lineup for 2019, the others being 4th of July fireworks, an outdoor summer concert series with food trucks, the interactive Story Pirate Theater, a hands-on Groundworks Hudson Valley Science Workshop, and the forthcoming Bash the Trash Musical Workshop.
