The Barger Roller Rink is a roller skating rink located at 8731 Old Highway 31 in Morris. It was opened in 1950 by Grady and Lucille Barger and is currently owned by their daughter Gail and her husband, Gene Chambers. They open the rink to the public on weekends and for private events on weekday evenings.
In 2009, the Roller Skating Association International group recognized the rink as being the 4th oldest rink in the country that is still in use (and the oldest one in Alabama).
The Chambers also own Dreams Avenue clothing store and Bridlewood Stables.
