Regional skating haven officially opens in Roanoke's Wasena Park

Roanoke’s newest action-sports destination is ready for wheels. A regional skating haven formally opened its gates in Wasena Park, drawing local riders and city officials to celebrate the milestone. Mayor Joe Cobb marked the occasion by outlining the skills the facility is designed to showcase.

“We’re going to learn ollies, manuals, flip tricks, kickflips, board spinning, shove-its, slides and grinds, and transition vert tricks,” Cobb said, underscoring the breadth of terrain available to skaters of every level.

The park’s debut adds a fresh recreational anchor to the Wasena neighborhood, promising daily sessions, community events, and a safe space for progression in skateboarding culture.
