Rom Skatepark

Built in 1978 and Grade II listed — one of the oldest surviving skateparks in the world. Rom's original concrete pools, snake runs, and banks have been ridden by generations of British skaters. The terrain is entirely original poured concrete from the 70s, offering a unique experience. The adult skate community here is strong, with many regulars who've been skating Rom since the 80s.

Rom is a living piece of skateboarding history. The pools and snake runs require some experience — particularly the deeper pool sections — but the mellow snake run and outer banking areas are accessible to confident returning skaters. Weekend mornings draw a solid contingent of adult skaters, some of whom have been riding here for 40+ years.
