A "fun" new cycle track and training area in Stapleford will soon be available to the community. Located in Ilkeston Road Recreation Ground, work began on the track back in January and is a mini road network on which children and adults can learn and practice cycling.
The 200-metre network of mini roads, including road markings, zebra crossings, a roundabout and road signs, will fully open for the first time on Saturday (April 8). It will be open and available to use 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In February, 2023, residents told Nottinghamshire Live that they felt "positive" about the arrival of the track. Others were excited about something "new" being added to the park.
The cycle training track has been funded through Stapleford Towns Fund's £4.6million Safer Cycling Scheme. Chair of Stapleford Towns Fund board, Ian Jowett, said: "We're so pleased that the cycle training track is ready for local people to enjoy over the Easter holidays.
"The level of interest we've seen in cycling through our cycle hub has been huge and it's great to be able to build on this and give local people a brand-new local facility on which to have lots of fun practicing cycling safely."
