DyDD's Need Your Help

The Dockyard Derby Dames, Tacoma’s own ladies roller derby league, is in need of some help. They are looking for a new practice space after differences with Parkland’s Skate-N-Station skating rink. Other rinks have stepped up, but none have the amount of time to allow the league a regular practice location. The league which, in its third year, is run by the skaters with support from part-time volunteers.

A roller derby track measures approximately 100 feet long by 60 feet wide and requires a 10-foot perimeter around the track for skater safety. In addition, the track space needs to be free of poles or structural supports between the floor and ceiling.
