The sleek, wooden rink that houses Gresham Skate World has buzzed with the whir of wheels since 1974, when the facility first swung open its doors to a community that now encompasses multiple generations of skaters. The rink provides safe, family-friendly entertainment seven days a week, offsetting standard open skates with a lineup of special events, ranging from all-night sessions to cosmic skating on weekends. To help celebrate special events or dodge bounty hunters, reserve one of Gresham Skate World's private rooms. The center's onsite skate shop stocks an assortment of accessories, and the snack bar fuels full days of axels and dips with hot dogs, nachos, and pizza.

Since 1981, all 10,000 square feet of Hillsboro Skate World’s rink has been filled with the whoosh of roller skates, which can be heard during public-skate sessions and private birthday parties, when skaters of all ages glide and spin underneath colorful lights and the hum of popular music. Late-night and all-night skate events transform the rink into a themed arena with decorations and activities for occasions such as a Spooky Friday the 13th. Between skates, legs can rest at tables or benches, while hands grab hot dogs, nachos, and other noshables from the snack bar.

Feel Good founder Christy Whitney discovered the secret to physical and mental vitality in a simple glass of juice. She found that by harnessing the detoxifying powers of all-natural fruit and vegetables, one can boost overall well-being, promote weight loss, and energize the human body far more efficiently than 25 AA batteries ever could. Putting this epiphany to use, Whitney culls the freshest fruits, vegetables, and, whenever possible, organic ingredients to forge the specialized juices and healthy foods that form the basis of her 3-day, 5-day, and 14-day detoxification programs. She invites everyone, regardless if they’re performing one of her cleanses, to sample from the gourmet menu of handmade blends and gourmet entrees.

Whitney’s specialized masters degree in living nutrition and detoxification also led her toward the passive purifying benefits of colon hydrotherapy and infrared sauna, which she offers on The Feel Good World’s spa menu. Additionally, she and a staff of instructors conduct heated yoga sessions designed to further purge impurities through the pores and strengthen the body.

At Mountain Park Health Clinic, Dr. Kenneth Rifkin channels more than 30 years of experience in naturopathic medicine and acupuncture to bring down nail fungus with quick laser treatments. During the procedure, Dr. Rifkin administers a laser treatment to the nail bed, breaking down nail fungus with heat gentle enough not to wake any penguins the patient may be cradling. The heat kills the nail bed's infection, resulting in a gradual return of rosy, healthy nails. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and helps to bestow clients with confidence in their digits during winter vacations to the islands and postgame handshakes with the opposing team's hot-dog vendor.
