Fun for the whole family: night skating for children in Dresden!

In Dresden, the evening of next Friday will be all about family sports. The Dresden night skaters invite you to a special family group that starts at 9 p.m. on Lingner-Allee. Children's night skating will take place in advance, from 6 p.m., and will attract many young skaters. Here the little ones have the opportunity to learn the basics of skating and gain their first experience with a test ride through the Blüherpark.

The event is ideal for beginners as no previous knowledge is required. The equipment is provided free of charge - inliners from size 25, helmets and protectors are on offer. Trained stewards support the kids during the exercises so that everyone can start rolling safely and with joy. And the best thing: participation is completely free, all you need is a desire to exercise outdoors!

Family friendly route

The subsequent family trip consists of two laps. The first lap is about 6 kilometers long and leads through simple, flat routes, without major obstacles such as rails or slopes. Here you can go at a leisurely pace, with a break at the starting point. For the second round, the family has to prepare for a distance of around 10 kilometers, aiming for a speed of around 15 km/h. This route involves some bumps and tram tracks, which provide additional challenges.

The Dresden support association skates e. V. organizes these events with the support of the Altstadt district office. The goal is to enable families to have an action-packed time together while at the same time introducing them to the safety and basics of inline skating. A highlight is that parents are allowed to go on children's night skating in a group - helmets are usually required, which is recommended to everyone for safety reasons.

Learning with fun

Inline skating is an exciting leisure activity, especially for little ones. Children from the age of five can start and from the age of 12 they are even allowed to race alone. The environment plays a crucial role: quiet, quiet streets or well-paved parking lots are ideal places to practice. To ensure safety, parents should help their children learn the technique; they learn to skate best in the so-called “penguin style” and practice braking with the heel-stop technique.

The first children's night skating event was on May 2nd and has already caused enthusiasm. But on Friday the next adventure is on the agenda and the anticipation for Friday evening is growing. It will be exciting to see what happy faces you will see as you swing and glide through the streets of Dresden.
