Maintaining your membership during the hiatus will have a huge impact on our little start-up business. Your support will help us reach our goals to improve your Rolla experience when we come back in September.
If you would like to pause your membership for the hiatus period, please fill out this form by July 14th.
In order to manage the administrative load, ALL summer hiatus pause requests must be received by July 14th. Any pause requests received between July 14th & July 28th will incur a $40 administrative fee.
Our offices will be closed during the hiatus, so no summer pause requests will be processed after July 28th, and your billing date will remain the same.
Thank you for your support!
PLEASE NOTE: As stated in our Membership Policies, members can pause for up to 3 months per year with no penalty.
Questions? Maybe these FAQs will help!
Q. If I pause, what happens to my membership?
A. You will not be able to register for any classes, events or sessions on GloFox during the pause. You will retain your regular monthly fee when your pause ends, but your usual billing date will be moved forward according to the length of the pause.
For example, if your account bills on the 1st of the month, here’s what it would look like:
Credit pack expiry dates will be extended as well.
Q. Where can I skate while Rollerland is closed?
If you keep your membership active through August, we’ll show you the way with our weekly social skates in the False Creek zone! Dates and times coming soon.
Vancouver has loads of great outdoor spots. We love the Seawall and the Arbutus Greenway for trail skating. Sunset Beach is a great scene for skaters, especially on Thursday evenings. Lacrosse boxes, basketball courts and tennis courts are great flat spots, too (but don’t forget to share with other public space users). Really, any relatively smooth, flat and not-too-busy spot works!
Make sure to join our Discord server to share or find great outdoor skate spots, plan skate meetups and road trips with pals, or even start a heated debate about the best outdoor wheels.
If you’ve never skated outdoors before, we have some helpful tutorials to get you started:

Q. Will there be any off-site Rolla events or classes during the Rollerland closure?
A. Yes! For Active monthly members only (in other words, folks who aren’t on pause) we will be offering a weekly social skate, led by our Rolla Coaches! You can skate in place, or choose to join the skate-the-path group. We’ll start and finish together, and there may even be picnics and sunset drinks after 🙂 If anything else is planned, we’ll spread the word via Discord and the GloFox Community tab, as usual
If you have any other questions about our summer hiatus, you can email hello@rollaskateclub.com. Have a great skating summer!
