I just wanted to know if anyone knows whats being done with the area where the Bay Shore Roller Rink is? My reason for asking is that, I wanted to purchase the rink when i moved up there (from NC) and open another skating rink. Unfortunately the asking price was $3.3mil for it and there was no way i could get it.

I still have the plans ready to go for a roller rink/ roller hockey facility and I am currently looking into a piece of property to lease/buy for it. But seeing as though someone has made the purchase of the old rink, does anyone have information on whether there is going to be a rink rebuilt there or some other type of entertainment facility? I was told by a realtor that the area or the building had to be use for entertainment puposes.

If anyone could update me that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I too was there to many times to count. And I do remember Scotty. And you are right we have to move on and not be sad,although I am. i feel like part of my childhood was taken away. But I do have many fond memories that will last me a life time,or at least until the Alzheimer's kicks in! Thanks for the post

Unfortunatly on this day a great tragedy has happened the Bay Shore Roller rink has been demolished. The wrecking crews tore that ever lasting memory of a building down to rubble. It was a sad sight to see the old place fall. But it will last in our memories forever. all the good times had by countless scores of kids and teenagers alike. A legacy started many years ago has fallen. I forever say farewell to a friend.

I, just like many of you, have very fond memories of the Bay Shore Roller Rink. I was there just about every Wed, Sat, and Sun from ’78 to ’81 (as best as my memory serves me correctly).

I remember the sights, sounds, smells, and the feelings of being there constantly. I met a lot of friends and picked up some girls there in my day. Who remembers Scotty??? He was probably there since they dug the foundation of the place.

I now live in Pennsylvania, and the Bay Shore Roller Rink is a part of my youth, as it is a part of yours. As someone once said in the past (and in one of these threads)- “All good things must come to an end”.

It’s true. We do not live in the 60’s, 70’s, or 80’s anymore. As much as we’d like to hold onto the past, it’s probably time to let it go and not be selfish. There was a roller rink close to where I live in PA that was built in the 1920’s, and when you speak to the “old timers” in the area, they are glad that the place was closed and not tainted by the “younger generation”. They define the younger generation as the 1940’s thru the late 1950’s. As you can see, it’s all relative according to your age.

Let’s face it- we’re all getting older, and there’s no way any of us would be able to relive our past experiences along with the new generation… it can’t happen.

I miss the days at the Bay Shore Roller Rink / America on Wheels (and also Studio 109 in Babylon… do you remember that place?)

Don’t try to hang on to the past too much. Enjoy your life, the memories that you have, and remember that yesterday will live with us forever, and today / tomorrow will be the fond memories of the current generation.

Much love and respect… Tommy_D

P.S.- I still remember Nina, Kitty, Peggy, and Karen : )

God bless you Scotty : )

Does anyone have any new information on the Roller Rink, I am an Islip resident and a father of two boys who I would love to see have the experiences I did as a child at the Roller Rink. One of my sons is currently 15 and I constantly here him and his friends asking the question what do we do tonight. having a place like the rink back would be great.

Any information on its current state would be appreciated I have a few people interested in the project but obviously we are not alone.

WHAT: exercise equipment, jerseys, hats, books, electronics, dvds, women's & men’s clothing, pots, comics, baseball cards, and much, much more.
