HEy folks, I have been working with the parks about getting a well deserved multi use courts for out sports. I have proposed a building plan to an existing tennis courts in Judkins Park (central Seattle). I would like a little input on court specs for rollerhockey. I have a pretty good idea. Bike polo and hockey are pretty much the same layout. Please contact me if you are interested. I think more people would play roller hockey if there were a court in the park! My main thing for this is to get kids more active in our sports at an early age and build community through sports and team work. Thanks.

This is awesome, good work Matt! Thanks for letting us in on your project. No doubt, the first step to increasing interest in the game is to build a real court. Build it and they will come. Here's a link with rink regulation dimensions. The closer to those dimensions, the better. Issaquah and South Seattle made the big mistake to build hockey courts that are too small for more than 3 on 3 play. Let us know if you need any help. Any idea on timelines?
