Welcome to Rom skatepark the UK’s most historic and complete urban sports facility for BMX, scooter, skateboards, in-line and quad skates. Rom is located on the boundary of the London Boroughs of Barking & Dagenham and Havering within easy reach of Elm Park Tube station on the District Line.
Opened in 1978, Rom skatepark is the most completely preserved concrete skatepark from the early years of British skateboarding, when the craze arrived in the UK from the USA. It is situated on approx 8,000 sq metres of land and the rideable park is 4,000 sq m of sculpted ‘Shotcrete’ hollows, bowls, moguls and the iconic pool.
