Edit August 2026

Our build is now well underway and site is looking amazing. Thanks to all the funds we have raised so far and in part to the hugely generous community that we have build around this project.

We are hoping to open in October to the community and the bike park will be free to use and accessible for everyone; suitable for progression of all abilities.

we need your ongoing support to help complete the detail of the project such as a rest area and signage and planting and also ongoing maintenance, insurance and to help the project give as much back to the community as possible through projects such as regular coaching sessions for kids.

Please donate what you can as every penny helps!

2025

We are so excited that we have secured planning permission on the 14th August 2025

We have raised £7,417 in donations and completed over £27,000 of specialist consultation work Pro-bono from community donations so far.

Now we need to concentrate of raising funds or community pledges to help build the bike park.

We are ambitious to try and open this next summer and have a phased programme to try and achieve this.

The first phase will cost us around £18,000 in labour and materials if it’s all to be paid for… however if you can help with any of this it will cost less.

Phase 1 will be creating the access to the bike park to allow us to construct the trails.

If you have a digger and want to help, or a shovel or can donate a tonne of aggregate then please get in touch via our website and the pledge form on there

Please donate where you can, this is real now and we can do this with your support.
