Most events meet in front of the White House on the closed-off section of Pennsylvania Ave. Parking is usually not too difficult at these meeting times.
Events are free , except for certain trips and other special events.
Newcomers are welcome and encouraged to check out several events before joining. Group Skates Please note that all skates are in traffic to some extent . WAR highly recommends taking lessons or attending a clinic in Rock Creek Park before attempting to street skate. One should also have a grasp of fundamentals of skating such as striding, crossover-turns and stopping. With the exception of the Friday evening skate, which is a simple monument loop, each route is determined by that skate's leader.
