Breeze in the Park - Bradford

The Breeze network and Bradford City Council will be transforming Lister Park into a bike riding haven as we encourage women to take to their bikes with friends and children. Sneaky peak of what’s in store: Meeting place - The Bandstand, Lister Park, North Park Road, BD9 4NR. Come and ride around the park at your leisure and come and meet our fabulous Breeze champions. There will be a mass start at 11am but you can come a ride anytime between 11am and 2pm. Lister Park is one of Bradford’s largest parks, and is situated in the Manningham area of the city. In 2006 it was given the prestigious award of Britain’s Best Park, and was also nominated for Best Park in Europe. It has a network of wide smooth paths which are perfect for cycling and lots of interesting things to see whilst exploring the park by bike.  These include the botanical gardens, the Mughal Water Gardens and the magnificent Cartwright Hall, join the Breeze in the Park and you’ll be exploring one of the gems in Bradford’s crown. Bikes to borrow There'll be a number of bikes provided by the youth service which will be available to use free of charge.  The number of bikes available is limited so where possible please come with your own bike to avoid disappointment. Cafe  The Pavillion Cafe will be open during the activities offering drinks and food, ice cream and cake as well as a place to relax after your ride. Childrens play area Located by the Boating Pavillion Cafe, this is the perfect place to keep the kids entertained while you enjoy a ride around the route or a coffee in the cafe with other Breeze riders.
