After Buncombe County lost its lone roller skating rink circa 2016, it seemed like the sport was all but done. But that’s changed dramatically in the past few years, with Asheville (and the rest of the country) now seeing a major roller skate resurgence .

And while Asheville still doesn’t have an official indoor rink — for now — there are plenty of parks + greenways around town that are perfect for taking a spin or testing out new tricks. Check ’em out below. 👇
