The long-awaited cycle hub at Wythenshawe park is set to open this Saturday, September 24. The hub, which includes a pump track, woodland trails, a learn to ride area and a family trail has been under construction since february.
The state-of-the-art hub was made possible by receiving funding as part of the £1.55 million revamp awarded to Wythenshawe Park by Manchester city council and Sport England’s Places 2 Ride fund.
The opening of the hub will be celebrated with an official opening on Saturday, which is open to residents and local councillors.
The day will include activities and workshops, including family sessions and demonstrations between 10am and 3pm.
