Fairfield Police Athletic League Sets Date for Next Skate Night

SOLANO COUNTY, CA -- The Fairfield Police PAL (Police Athletic League) Center will put away the basketballs and pull out the disco lights for another Skate Night from 7 pm-10 pm Friday, Nov. 16 for a roller-skating Turkey Trot.

Skate nights include a live DJ, special events lighting, a glow gallery, karaoke, and of course, roller skates. PAL members can join for couple skate, reverse skate, roller skate games, old school beats plus modern hits with DJ DRMB.

Skaters who need a break, can check out the video games, watch a movie, or hang out with friends in the game lounge and enjoy slices of pie.

Roller skates are provided for free by the Matt Garcia Foundation. A PAL membership is required to participate.

"Studies have shown that roller skating provides a complete aerobic workout and involves all of the body's muscles, especially the heart," the Fairfield Police Dept. said in a statement. "Roller skating is equivalent to jogging in terms of health benefits-caloric consumption, reduction of body fat, and leg strength development."

This Turkey Trot-themed skate night will include commemorative t-shirts for the first 50 students to skate the equivalent of a 5k.

In the Fairfield PAL Program, members of the police department coach young people in sports, and help with homework and other school-related activities. It's open to Fairfield, Suisun and Travis students ages 13-18 who are enrolled in school.

Memberships are $10 per year and can be purchased at the Fairfield Community Center, 1000 Kentucky St, Fairfield, Mon-Thursday from 11:30 am-5:30 pm. The PAL Center is located at 2195 Union Ave., Fairfield.
