I had a great time here even though I felt like I could not skate at all. I was literally holding the railing almost the whole time.

I learned recently that it's also a polling location for folks in the surrounding wards. I popped in to cast my vote in the election and it was my first time actually inside. Turns out it's essentially a warming house with a big ol' fire place in the middle as a place to get warm during skating season. There is plenty of free parking available. Games and events are always taking place. I look forward to returning when the snow falls!

True, winter means snow storms, bone chilling winds, shoveling, icy roads & lots of other things we'd all rather forget. But, winter also brings opportunities for a wide array of great outdoor activities, including a traditional favorite--ice skating. Longacre Skating Pavilion & skating rink are right next to Stormonth Elementary school at 7343 N Longacre Rd. The skating rink has one area for free skating & a 2'nd for ice hockey. Although, stray pucks tend to find their way into the free skating area. The ice surface can be pretty bumpy. Nobody around here owns a Zamboni! Skaters are invited to go inside the pavilion to warm up, the fireplace is awesome & always ablaze on weekends. The skating pavilion also hosts games & events. Free parking is available.

Going straight through the door there are games and moving past those is the prize area and skate rental area.

The nachos which were good, but those fries, they were so good. This group rented the whole place to enjoy their birthday and is was very nice. Employees were both very kind and fast.

No need to risk breaking anything, and getting up off the ice at my age would've been a whole event! It also let me race my grandson who was learning, which was way more fun than I expected. We were at the Pettit for our granddaughter's 10th birthday party and had our own room. The kids had lemonade, hot dogs, and chips, and we could bring in our own dessert, which made things easy. I'll definitely be more sore than the 10-year-olds for the next few days but it was an absolute blast!

Also, they do this for fun! Realize these women "by day" are lawyers, teachers, nurses, hair stylists, businesses owners and all the like from around SE WI. And the PUNS - at the start they always announce the four teams - Crazy Eights, Maiden Milwaukee, Rushin' Roulettes and the Shevil Knevils. Not only are the team names cool enough, but each woman comes up with her own unique name and persona for the team she's on - my current favorite player's names include: - SUSAN B ANARCHY - MADAME FURIE - ANITA D'GROIN - MILWAUKEE'S BREAST (I mean .... come on!) Also, I cannot count how many times I've been at a derby bout and ran into someone from the "real world" I know - they're always supporting a player - daughter, wife, friend, etc. and it just reminds you what a cool and somewhat underground culture it is, and how many people are actually impacted by the BCB. It takes a little getting use to understanding how the "jammers" score points, but after you watch a couple of bouts, you quickly get into the swing of things. The Brewcity Bruisers rumble usually January through May at the Panther arena which is filled with delicious snacks and beer to squelch those halftime woes. The cheer leading squad "The Beerleaders" always add extra special touches with choreographed dances during half time. If you haven't went yet, get there and make sure to pick up some BCB merch reppin' your favorite team (you'll already have one by the end of your first visit.)

I'm not sure how often this happens but of the 3 times I've went 2 people have been hurt enough to stop the game. Leave it to say this is not a sport for prancing around the oval.
