🛼✨Let's throw it back for a good cause.

One more week until we throw it back at Throwback Thursday on June 4th at the Sawyer Point Riverfront Rink. You're not just reliving the best of the late 90s and early 2000s; you're helping shape the future of Sawyer Point.

Proceeds from the event will support improvements at Sawyer Point, helping make this park the place to play!

Lace up your skates and hit the pavement at the Sawyer Point Riverfront Rink for a night of music, nostalgia, riverfront vibes, and community fun. Bring your own skates or use ours — either way, we’re rolling into summer while doing good for Cincinnati Parks. 🌊🎶
