Skate parks

Watford has two purpose built skate parks. Wheeled sports (i.e. skateboarding, roller and ‘in-line’ skating, and BMX) continue to be very popular activities for young people. These require a great deal of skill and expertise and provide a positive way of channelling energy. Both parks are free to use and open to Watford residents as well as visitors.
