DETROIT – A rollerskater’s paradise is returning to Downtown Detroit this summer, but with some new features.
Officials announced Thursday that the Monroe Street Midway -- a new attraction on Monroe Street -- will open to the public on May 27 and will stay open through the summer. The site first launched in 2021 under Bedrock as a place for people to play sports, skate, eat and hang out.

The Rollout Detroit roller rink will once again offer outdoor rollerskating, but with a “new and improved rink,” officials said. Skating sessions cost $13, which includes skate rentals.
Admission to the general Midway is free.
New to the site this year will reportedly be a 9-hole mini golf course, a covered pavilion with seating and a large grass lawn.
Starting next month, the Midway will be open during the following days and times:
- Wednesday and Thursday: 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
- Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
- Sunday: 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
Officials say the Midway will be open on Memorial Day and Labor Day.
