Home of Cats ‘fun central’
Roll up for holiday fun ROLLERWAY in Newtown offers lots of fun and exercise for children during school holidays – regardless of the weather. With roller skating undergoing a resurgence and rollerblading still as popular as ever, kids will be keen to pull on their skates during holidays. With extra holiday session times scheduled, skating is available seven days a week. Rollerway offers a variety of activities to keep kids of all ages entertained. Rink operator Raul Aparicio says the sessions are always fun with music videos, lights and lots of games and activities throughout. “It’s a really fun and safe activity
for kids of all ages,” Raul says. Rollerway also has a separate indoor skate park for skateboarding, scooters and BMX riders. “Our skate park is very popular and a great alternative to outdoor parks,” Raul says. The centre is also available for children’s functions. “We have lots of birthday parties at the centre and the introduction of the separate skate park, disco lounge and jumping castle areas have helped modernise the activities,” Raul says. In-line roller hockey is another feature at Newtown, with Geelong boasting Australia’s biggest independent roller hockey league.
