One of the last remaining Bay Area haunts where you can "shoot the duck" under a disco ball is closing. The Golden Skate in San Ramon announced in October that it's shutting down after decades in business. Owner Hassan Sharifi wrote in a letter that the roller skating rink suffered "enormous financial damages" that have made the continued operation of the business infeasible.
Sharifi purchased the roller skating rink in when it was on the verge of closing, and he said he spent years reviving it. As one of the largest roller rinks within hundreds of miles, skaters from all over Northern California came to the Golden Skate to race around the full-size wooden rink in a retro setting.
Sharfi added: "My staff has always been my biggest asset, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with so many wonderful people over the years. My hope is that the memories created over the decades of the Golden Skate will live on and will be cherished by those who have visited us.
The Bay Area has seen several roller rinks that thrived in the s and '80s close over the years. When we moved about an hour away several years ago we started going to the Ripon rink and when that closed 3 years ago it broke my kids hearts.
