According to my research, Fleetwood Roller Rink in Summit, Illinois is the longest running rink in close proximity to the city. I am not certain if is the longest running open rink in the state because I have not reached that far in my research.
Unfortunately, I cannot share the history of Fleetwood because it is not posted on the site and I have yet to transcribe my interview with Kathy, the rink manager. I will say that she was very kind in sharing her time and memories, and I appreciate both.
