Ringing Rocks Roller Rink is a historic, old time, roller skating rink dating back approximately a century. Located just outside of the north end of Pottstown PA, the Ringing Rocks Roller Rink is a childhood favorite for many people. Ringing Rocks Roller Rink is famous for a boulder field just below the rink that was a glacier deposit from the ice age. These boulders, or rocks as the Rink's name says, will actually RING when struck with a hammer! If you have a fond memory of the rink or enjoy going to this historic place, drop us an email!
Do you remember these ...
(thanks everyone on the Facebook Group for the memories in the
posts):
-
The boulder field of "Ringing" Rocks below the parking lot.
-
Organ Music

The hit or miss rental skates and ...
Do you remember your favorite number that you'd request if you got there on time?
-
Three sessions, 1-4pm, 4-7pm and 7-10pm
-
The concrete and rock walls that could do some serious damage if you ran into them.
-
The murals on the walls. A few years ago I talked the current owners (managers) who are actually friends I went to high school with and they say above the drop ceiling, there is another 20 to 30 feet up to the windows at the top and some of those murals extend up there. They haven't been seen since the drop ceiling was put in many decades ago.
