One of the ways to unwind during the weekend is going out into nature and enjoying some outdoor time. Apart from going for walks, cycling, we can also traverse the scenic paths by rollerblading.
Here is a guide to the rollerblading rental stores in East Coast Park (ECP), Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Coney Island (Punggol).
Things To Consider When Renting A Pair Of Rollerblades
Other than bringing water for adequate hydration, we would also need to bring along our own pair of socks and a photo identification card. Personal safety gear such as helmets, arm and leg pads are recommended. Otherwise, most rollerblading stores do include safety gear in the cost of the rental, or you can pay an additional fee to rent them.
When choosing a rollerblading rental store, do take note of the location, the timing of rental, late charges, and overnight charges. These factors can help us to avoid queues and unnecessary expenses. For late charges, most rollerblading stores tend to charge for the full hour for late returns past 10 minutes.
