A few months ago I stumbled across an abandoned ice rink that had been in business for as long as I could remember. I revisited the site last month and it was much easier to get back in.

Great post Lachy, love this spot myself. Very eerie!! keep up the good work ;)

Cool little location, you could probably still play street hockey on the remains of the rink.
Winning is temporary but looking cool is forever! Stay Fresh! |

Great post!

I was about to hop inside the other day, and just as I was walking towards it 3 police cars showed up out of nowhere and parked right in front of the entrance! I don't think it had anything to do with me, but I wonder if they came for that location or for something else not related...

What you obviously should have done is saunter over like you are in a Wild West movie, stop, and say, "I'VE GOT THIS ONE BOYS!" and walk in like you own it, works everytime.

The police station is very close, I was getting out of that place and a cop passed right by me sitting on the top of the fence. To this day I still have no idea how he did not see me.

Is this the one in Berkeley or near it--?

Indeed
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

Yeah, all the clues (basically none given in the new tradition of UER sw) point to Berkeley. It could be... because it's on the same street as the police station and it's much easier to get in now than in the past. But it's possibly in V-town if the one there is down the street from duh 5.0 I'll go ahead and post the pope if it turns out good.

Ok I remembered incorrectly, V-town has a bowling alley. So I'm going to go ahead and say it's in redwood city, once the home of Marine World and now Headquarters of Oracle racing pleasure yachts. Just kidding, one of Larry the Ironman's old boats is stuck in the legume. Kevlar, Carbon, Aluminium, no secret motors, behold, the fast and the furious.

Depending on which V-town you choose you could be right or wrong. Both have a bowling alley though. The rink in Berkeley I can assure you it is not. I spent almost every birthday for myself or cousins at that place!

I'm planning a redo for better photos within the near future so if anyone finds the spot they can pm me to explore it again. I don't know anything about a nearby police station though.

Cops are seen frequently patrolling outside the location. Occasionally they will stay inside the fences. Last time I went, all of the doors were suspiciously wide open, which gave a somewhat eerie vibe. Not sure if work is being done however.

Scouted today. Still wide open. Circled for about 30min. Zero cops.
The question is not when are we gonna stop, It's who's gonna stop us?
