Stop skate o mania from closing in Albuquerque
The Issue
Skate-O-Mania at 400 Paisano St NE isn't just a building. It's 45 years of Albuquerque memories. Since 1980, it has been the place for birthday parties, family nights, school fundraisers, and weekend skates. For many of us, it's the only affordable, safe place where kids can be active without a screen. Right now, Skate-O-Mania may have to close this November, not because people don't love it, but because insurance costs have gotten too high to keep running. If it closes, Albuquerque will lose its last dedicated roller rink. No more affordable skate sessions for families, no more safe place for kids to gather. We are calling on the City of Albuquerque, local businesses, and the owner to work together to find a solution — help with insurance costs, a community fundraising partnership, or grants for historic community landmarks. Other cities have saved their rinks this way. We can too. Please sign and share to help save Skate-O-Mania. Let's keep the lights on, the disco ball spinning, and the wheels rolling for another 45 years.
