About Us
Isaiah 58 Skate House (formerly known as Crystal's Skate
Palace) is the newest version of this Temple Hills skating rink legend. For more than 40 years, skaters and the skate family have been visiting 3132 Branch Avenue in Temple Hills, Maryland to share good times on wheels. The building has undergone many facelifts and through the hands of many owners, but the common thread has been to provide a gathering place for the community.
The art of roller skating hit its peak in the '70s, and thankfully, many decades later it is finding a way back into mainstream activities. Isaiah 58 Skate House, though new in name, is rich in history. Our mission is to continue the legacy of roller skating by providing a safe, family-friendly environment for old-school legends on wheels to the newbies just getting their balance.
We appreciate all those who have paved the way before us. We celebrate our staff and team (most of whom have other jobs and do this out of passion). We are excited to have this opportunity to be a part of the community and to continue to support roller skating for decades ahead.
Isaiah 58 Skate House is the place, but we can't do it on our own, we need the love and support of the community, so
Let's Keep Rolling!
