Swirl Austin Group Skate

About this event
See y’all Wed 11/18 at 6-8 PM at Branch Park Pavilion in Mueller (we are set up where the splash pad is!) for our next group skate!!
Who's playing
Swirl started in Austin as a women's skate meetup called Austin Womxn Skate, founded by three women including art therapist Brii Valdez. It was renamed after the group joined the GRLSWIRL collective, which runs chapters around the world. Carolina Montgomery is one of the organizers and has led the group stretches and introductions at past meetups.
What to expect
Meetups have opened with a group stretch and quick introductions, then moved into skating at a relaxed pace. The group's stated rules are to have fun, be safe, be kind, and remember the space is for everyone. Riders of all skill levels mix together, and no board is needed to join.
Why go
Branch Park has a lot of flat ground, which suits newer skaters and anyone who wants to cruise without traffic. The park also has open lawn, sand volleyball courts and a dog run nearby. For skaters in Mueller, it is an easy way to meet other riders in Austin.
