Size the floor and the support zone together.

Footprint is a guest experience choice

Smaller floors feel intimate and fit tight courtyards. Larger floors raise throughput for public plazas and festivals. Every option still needs a clear pad, truck access, power, and circulation beyond the boards.

Examples are planning ranges

Published pocket, plaza, and festival examples are starting points. Final dimensions are confirmed after the site review.

Measure what can stay clear

Use the area that remains open for setup, skating, maintenance, and teardown—not the full property line.

How to read pocket, plaza, and festival footprints.

Start with clear length and width

Measure the area that can stay clear for setup, skating, maintenance, and teardown.

Estimate simultaneous skaters

Session style and age mix matter. A busy public plaza needs more floor and more queue space than a timed private party.

Draw the support ring

Skate counter, bag check, entry/exit, staff, sound/lighting placement, and ADA routes often add as much planning work as the floor itself.

Confirm the pad can receive the size

Larger floors need more truck staging, longer setup windows, and clearer utility paths.

Match size to venue type

Private courtyards, holiday plazas, festivals, and campuses shortlist different footprints before the quote.

Pocket, plaza, and festival planning examples

Examples only—final dimensions depend on the approved pad, surface, and operating plan.

Pocket — about 20 × 40 ft

Courtyards, hotel terraces, private celebrations, and compact brand moments where intimacy beats throughput.

Plaza — about 30 × 60 ft

Shopping centers, downtown squares, and civic activations that balance atmosphere with steady public skating.

Festival — about 40 × 60 ft+

Seasonal festivals and high-visibility programs that need more simultaneous skaters when the pad and utilities allow.

Support space outside boards

Plan skate fitting, queues, staff, equipment, accessible circulation, and emergency access beyond the floor.
