Making Tracks at Parkwood

Story: Emily Haimeed

An exciting new cycle track for mountain bikes will open at Parkwood Springs this summer.

The Council are organising sessions every Wednesday (2-4pm) over the summer break to allow local residents to try out the track. These activities (with free bikes and instruction) will mark the start of a two-year programme of cycle activities for the local community and schools. A ‘have a go’ weekend is also planned for 22nd/23rd September.

Neill Schofield, Chair of the Friends of Parkwood Springs, commented:

“We welcome the bike trail and support the programme of activities being arranged so young people enjoy the site responsibly and have something positive to do in Burngreave.”

To get involved, please contact: Woodland Officer jon.dallow@sheffield.gov.uk.
