What this place is
A Play It Again Sports franchise store in Forest Park that buys and sells used sports gear.
Play It Again Sports Forest Park
Play It Again Sports in Forest Park is a franchise store on the Madison Street shopping strip, just west of the Chicago city line. Like the rest of the chain, it buys and sells used sports and fitness gear, so families can trade in outgrown skates and pads and leave with the next size up.
Its own services page says it sharpens both hockey and figure skates. The nearest indoor ice is Paul Hruby Ice Arena at Ridgeland Common in Oak Park, under a mile and a half east, and Gunzo’s hockey shop is a few blocks further west on Madison Street in River Forest.
For a skater on a budget, it is worth checking the used skate wall before buying new: bring the old pair along so staff can compare sizes.
Sharpens: hockey, figure. Not stated: goalie, speed / long-track, recreational & rental.
Blades they sharpen
Hockey and figure skates.
