Our Tradition
This is where you can learn about our rink and its history. The original Skateland was on Midland Boulevard where the Walmart is now and was owned and operated by Laura and Don Jarrell(Mom and Pop) from 1945 to 1959. Jack's Skateland was built in 1962 by Jack and Mickey Jarrell was operated by them until 1996. That's over a half a century of kids skating with us. We've gone with music from Tommy Dorsey in the 40's, to Elvis in the 50's, The Beach Boys and the Beatles in the 60's, Creedence and the Eagles in the 70's, The BeeGees and Disco in the 80's, Janet Jackson in the 90's, and let's forget about what is popular now.
