Yahoo! Singapore has learnt that the National Parks Board is not renewing Skateline's lease at the park. The business also runs the private skating rink at Bishan Park 2.
According to a notice, Skateline said the premise will function as a NParks office and the rink will be converted into a multi-purpose open area on 15 August 2011. Permission to use the open area will be subjected to NParks' approval.
Some park-goers and skaters said they were surprised and sad to see the skating rink go.
"We look forward to coming here every week as a whole family," said teacher Jo Ko, 36. Three of her four daughters take inline skating lessons every Friday night. Full story
