Round circle with yellow and black diagonal stripes and words SkateZone 71

Thursday, June 13, 9am-12am
SkateZone71, 4900 Evanswood Dr., Columbus
This is the FOURTH Community Pride event and the last one before the Community Pride Festival!
This event is 18+!

We are partnering with Skate Zone 71 on their Pride Skating Party to bring you Skate Against State Violence! Come through with your cutest looks and show us what you got on the floor! We plan on having an area in the rink dedicated to letter-writing to incarcerated trans folks, as well as collecting donations for the Marsha P. Johnson Institute.

This event is regrettably the only one of ours that is not free -- folks will have to pay for admission and skate rental (if you don't own your own pair). But a portion of the proceeds will go back into Community Pride, so your attendance will help sustain us as we build this grassroots Pride celebration. If you are unable to pay, please DM us or email us at columbuscommunitypride@gmail.com so we can make note of your name and we will cover your entry. We don't want anyone to be turned away for lack of funds!

Access details: Skate Zone is on the bus line off Morse Rd. The distance down Evanswood is a little over a 1/4 mile. There is parking available for Skate Zone 71 attehdees. There are no steps to get in the building and front door access is compatible for wheel chairs. Restrooms will be temporarily labeled as gender-neutral. Restrooms are not considered ADA-compliant, but there are wider stalls available. If you need accommodations to use the restroom, please let one of the event organizers know. As long as the skating floor does not become too busy, folks in wheelchairs can be out on the floor. For adult skate, there are typically skaters at a higher level of experience, so it will be at the floor guards discretion if they believe people in wheel chairs are not safe with the current skaters on the floor.
