Saturday 25 July 2026 Rom Skatepark

Skatepark Revived

Join us for a celebration at the UK’s first Grade II listed skatepark.

Celebrate Rom’s past, present and future with local young people, artists and performers with the premiere of a new short film and unveiling of a new mural co-created with the next generation of Rom’s community. Then in the evening, come and watch Back To The Future on a large LED screen in Rom’s reservoir.

Delivered in partnership between Havering London and Rom Skatepark, Skatepark Revived brings young people into conversation with their local built environment, responding to the borough’s A Good Life strategy and helping Rom re-establish its role within the Havering community.

Skatepark Revived is part of Havering Unearthed, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Historic England, Romford BID, Arts Council England and the London Borough of Havering.
