Nelson Park's Outdoor Inline Skate Rink adjacent to the Hutchinson Trail, St. Louis Park

Description: Nelson Park is a multi-use park which features an outdoor paved inline skate rink and the adjacent Hutchinson Spur Trail; a popular trail that weaves its way through multiple cities and is not short in longevity. The area is ideal for Robichon's skate skill development and skate skill trail application. We spend time developing our inline skating technique in the warm arms of a learning friendly asphalt platform. In our beginning trail skating course, we integrate our new inline skate abilities on the trail system to safely introduce you to a real world skate. Inline Skate Lesson participants are best prepared for these trail skates after our Outdoor Skate Basic Series.

We also use the trail system for our 12 mile fitness and inline marathon training skates.

Robichon's Rating

Robichon's rates the trail as an easy skate depending on exercises. The slopes are mild and friendly for a guided and effective introduction to beginning inline trail skating.
