I agree with timv that Bur-Mil pool is a good spot to park. There's a small restroom over by the picnic area that is often open, and a water fountain, I think, all accessible by skates/bikes. We do a route I call the cloverleaf. Here's how that goes...

R on Bur-Mil Club rd out of parking lot
L onto Owl's Roost Rd
X (cross) over Bicentennial Tr (caution)
S on Owl's Roost into newish houses
C (circle back) cul du sac and return

R into Bur-Mil Pool Aquatic Center parking lot

or continue...
L onto Bicentennial Greenway
S over bridge over lake
S through "the culvert" a concrete sidewalk sectioned dip
X apex of hill with caution for "the chicane" blind curve

quit early by turning around here and skipping the next step...

C Turn back at apex of "hibachi hill" (my name) by apartments

I don't have mileages but maybe timv and I (and maybe eebee) will go measure it, or I can dig it out from old records. Enjoy. This is a mildly technical route for skates, and should be easy for most roadskaters with basic braking skills using caution at a few select spots.
