    Route 50 east for about 3 miles, to the US 82 intersection, then
    about 1/2 mile further and turn right on Lehmberg Road.  The rink

    Route 50 and US 82.

[ BLPiazza@aol.com (Barry Piazza) - edited from chat ]
Oak Grove is a small rink, about 80'x140'.  The music is rock, country
and Rap.  Not a lot of discipline - kids often play chase and skate in
the wrong direction.  No artistic club, none anywhere in the whole state!

[ ccjjs@felix.TECLink.Net (John Schuster)]
This rink closed (for ever) about 5 years ago.  The building was then 
used as a warehouse sales company for about 2 years and is now 
vacant.  I highly doubt if it will ever be a skating rink again!

Fri	7:00 PM - 10:00 PM	public session
Sat	7:00 PM - 10:00 PM	public session
Sun	1:00 PM - 5:00 PM	(fall and winter only)

Wood Floor - Medium Sized
In-Lines Permitted - Quad and speed rentals available

[ ccjjs@felix.TECLink.Net - (John Schuster) ]
The floor is wood with very worn coating, medium sized with entrance
at only one point.  Off floor areas are carpeted, but rather shabby.
Music is all pop/rap/country and the programs are kiddy/teen oriented.
They are willing to play music brought in by skaters.

Inline skates are permitted but not available for rent.  Rental skates,
both regular and speed, are well maintained.

The crowd is fairly well behaved considering that the rules are very
loosely enforced.  The management is very pleasant and, for anyone who
exhibits decent skating skills and behavior, are very accomodating.

[ ccjjs@felix.TECLink.Net (John Schuster) - udpate 12/96 ]
The floor is wood has been recoated withing the past year.  The new
coating makes the grip quite good and very predictable.  The carpets
in the off-floor areas are new within the past 6 months.

601-342-1151

Wood Floor - Large with obstructions
In-lines Permitted - Quad, Speed and In-line rentals
RSA Member Rink

[ ccjjs@felix.TECLink.Net - (John Schuster) ]
Large floor but has a raised, carpeted area in the center of the floor
with seats and a very small practice floor.  The floor is wood with a
fairly fresh plastic coating.  There are four support posts spaced around
the floor which can be a bit disconcerting when trying to skate any sor
of pattern.  Entrances are spaced around the rink with the side areas
being raised above the floor level.  Off floor areas are carpeted and
reasonably clean.

Inline skates are allowed and rented as well as regular and speed, all
look well maintained.  Music is pop/rap/country and, like most rinks in
this part of the country, they cater to the kiddy/teen set.  There are
floor guards and rules are moderately enforced.  The management is
okay but seems a bit aloof.  They have a skate shop but I don't think
it is very well stocked.

[ ccjjs@felix.TECLink.Net - (John Schuster) - update ]
This rink is now under new management and is undergoing a drastic 
renovation.  The raised, carpeted center area of the floor has been 
removed and replaced with actual skating area (yippeeeee) and the 
perimeter areas are being worked on also.  I don't know what the end 
result will be but I feel it will be an improvement.

Currently, the floor is a bit rough but I understand that they plan 
to resand and recoat the floor when the humidity drops later in the 
spring or early summer.  They also have plans to hire a skating pro 
and begin having serious lessons.

Sounds like the new owners are going to change the image of this rink 
for the better (in the opinion of this artisticly oriented skater).
