Riverbank State Park Roller skating — Attraction in New York

Alrighty...So where do I begin? Well the entrance fee staff was pleasant & courteous that's a good starter!! Then as I entered the skate rental area a youngman eagerly assisted with adjusting my wristband nicely. After that another nice youngman explained that he would lock my locker once I'm done putting my belongings away...and he did!!. So far a nice experience.
