German term

Skater

German to English Marketing Sports / Fitness / Recreation
I'm translating a list of signs that are to be posted in a park in Berlin. I'm pretty sure Skater are skateboarders but want to be sure. Could it also be roller skaters? Is there anyway to be sure from this meager context?

Skater / Skaten auf ausgewiesenen Strecken

Beachten Sie die Streckenhinweise.
Die asphaltierten wege sind nur bedingt für skater geeignet
Skater beachten bitte die eingeschränkte Streckennutzung

Inline skaters / rollerbladers I believe your sign primarily addresses the above - I'm fairly sure that "Skater" is short for "Inline-Skater" (am one of these myself, occasionally...). That said, Jonathan may also be right.
Jonathan MacKerron Mar 29, 2010:
'Skater' denotes both boards and roller skates
David Hollywood Mar 29, 2010:
I agree with Ingeborg and Kim ... "Skaters" will work fine :)
Ingeborg Gowans (X) Mar 29, 2010:
o.k. you are probably safe to do this, here "skaters" always refer to skateboarders, but possibly in your context could also relate to roller skaters.,. It's a tough one, admittedly/ all the best

I'll probably just use skaters and skating to cover all the bases.
