Garfield Park’s gym is turning into a free roller rink once a month through April.

Skating is free and open to the public, with free food and drinks and raffles for skates. Skates are free to rent at the event.

JB style skating, a form of skating focusing on footwork and dancing, originated on the South Side and remains a popular style of skating worldwide today. “JB” is a reference to musician James Brown, whose songs would soundtrack roller rinks.

The skating meetup is a partnership between the Garfield Park Advisory Council, the West Side Cultural Arts Council and the Humboldt Park Skate Meetup, which hosts a popular skating event in the West Side park.
