Skateland Rules

Skateland is a locally owned and operated family-friendly recreation and entertainment business. Since 1981 it has been our pleasure to provide the beautiful City of Florence, South Carolina, and the surrounding area a facility dedicated to the enhancement of “Good Clean Family Fun.”

The following rules are a necessary part of that culture. Please be advised that it is not lawfully required for Skateland to list all rules herein and that unwritten rules verbalized at the discretion of Skateland management must also be adhered to by all who enter. The following written rules as well as rules verbalized by management are not debatable nor negotiable:
