"The world’s largest roller-skate is located at Rollerworks Family Skating Center in Bealeton, just 16 miles from Warrenton, Virginia," the Warrenton Toyota says.

"It has been the family skating venue for decades now, and not only is it a lot of fun, it also is a perfect place for a photo-op. Located on the same property as the Skating Center is a Flea Market, giving you a full day of activities to enjoy when you visit Bealeton!

"Warrenton just a quick drive to Rollerworks Family Skating Center in Bealeton, the home of the World’s Largest Rollerskate. It is made of wood and plaster and has existed since the 1980’s. It has attracted many families from far and near thus becoming a favorite skate center and a favorite roadside attraction for people just wanting to stop by and snap a few picture and make a few memories."

"Bealeton is located in southwestern Fauquier County. U.S. Route 17 leads north 10 miles (16 km) to Warrenton, the county seat, and southeast 27 miles (43 km) to Fredericksburg. VA 28 leads northeast 20 miles (32 km) to Manassas and southwest 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to U.S. Routes 29 and 15, which lead an additional 13 miles (21 km) to Culpeper.

"Since 1970, Bealeton has been home to one of the last barnstorming air shows in America, simply called the "Flying Circus". Open every Sunday, May through October, activities include All-American barnstorming, wing walking, parachuting, aerobatic performances and open-cockpit biplane rides.

"Bealeton is also the home of the world's largest old-fashioned roller skate. It was originally created as a float for a fireman's parade and put in place in front of the rink by Hugo Stribling when he opened Hugo's Skateway in 1978. The skating rink has changed hands several times since Hugo's was sold in 2007. The most recent owners closed the doors in January 2017 after their lease was terminated."   (Wikipedia)

"Of course, the same doesn’t apply to road trippers like us. To us, the bigger the roller skate, the better. And so, the Giant Roller Skate in Bealeton, Virginia might just be the perfect roller skate. And, at the very least it is a fun Virginia roadside attraction!

"The wood and plaster giant skate has been standing since the 1980s (way longer than I’ve ever been able to stand in a skate), a time when the roller rink was the place to be," the Silly America says.

"Hopefully, this skate will continue to stand for many years to come and inspire others to put their (hopefully right-sized) skates back on and make a round or two in an open skate."

"With wheels appropriately sized for a sedan, this roller skate has been around since the '80s when roller skating under a flashing disco ball was all the rage," the Fotospot says.

"Although extreme sports and roller derby girls have taken over athletics on wheels, this skating rink has managed to survive the decades. Unfortunately, the roller skate hasn't fared so well and probably needs a vigorous shoe shine."

"This Giant Skate is about ten feet tall. It is made of cement with a metal heel and wooden wheels. It was probably inspired by Strickland's skate cars described above," the RoadArch.com says.

"This business was known as Hugo's Skating Rink in 2004. I believe Hugo's opened in 1976 but I don't know when the skate was built. By 2009, the skate had been repainted and the place was called Carroll's Skating Rink.

"In 2010, there was no name on the skate. There was a sign for Rollerworks Family Skating Center. In 2017, the skating rink closed. By 2019, the property was used for parking trucks. The Giant Skate remains."

"Boom! You wanted giant sculptures of not-giant stuff? Well Bealeton, Virginia has got you covered! The giant wooden roller skate may seem a little worse for wear, but it has become quite the roadside-hotspot over the last decade," the Bond's Escape Room says.

"On the weekend, a massive flea market is erected beside the giant skate, meaning you can shop for your own little oddities while basking in the glory of Bealeton biggest oddity!"

"Bealeton's giant roller skate is pretty self-explanatory, although you may be wondering how it came to be. This 10-foot roller skate was built in the 80s to mark the entrance of Hugo's Skateway, which is now Rollerworks Family Skating Center," the Only In Your State says.

"Made of wood and plaster, this skate has definitely made it into more than a few photos of interstate travelers. (The skate is right off Highway 17 in Fauquier County)."

"Yes, one of the wonders of the modern World giant roller skate made entirely of wood and plaster - graces the side of Highway 17 (referred to as Marsh Road along this stretch of Virginia highway) in Bealeton, Virginia," the Roadtrippers.com says.

"Bealeton is a census-designated place in Fauquier County, found at the intersection of State Route 28 and Highway 17. Bealeton is also home to one of the last barnstorming air shows in the US - but more about that later.

"Seems like the perfect place to stop for a break, perhaps skate for a bit - and could there be a better photo op?"
