What is SK8City?
Sk8City is an indoor roller-skating rink on the 12th floor of Diamond Plaza 2 in Parklands. The rink uses a smooth floor with music and lighting, and skates are hired at the desk as part of the session.
Sessions run from mid-morning into the night, with children's skating ending earlier in the evening. It is a useful wet-weather option, though the lift ride and late-night crowd are worth planning around.
