The Inline Skate Rink at Lake Fairfax Park, a joint project by the Fairfax County Park Authority and the Washington Capitals, boasts a 85’ x 185’ rink with player boxes, penalty boxes and bleachers. The rink, constructed with sport floor tiles on an asphalt pad, is ideal for roller hockey and skating, with easy maintenance and modular tile replacement. With ample lighting, the inline stake rink is great for daytime or evening events.
