In October of 1947

Lester and Velma King decided to build a place were family and friends can come to "let the good times roll".

In the little town of Franklin

where the population is

only 78, Lester and Velma King began construction of a small 10,000 square foot roller skating facility.

It's unique design was formed by fusing two cylinder shaped, military grade aircraft shelters together.

73 years later, and still owned and operated by the King family today. This little skating shelter plans to help keep the good times rolling!

Elk Grove has even dedicated a community park to Velma & Lester King! You can read more about it here!:
