Platt Fields Exploration

Join us for a gentle route that starts from the park car park. Riding on traffic-free paths, we’ll pass the Platt Fields BMX track – watch out for Team GB! We’ll stop for a breather and photos near the pond and then continue on around the park. This is a flat, circular route and ideal for families or anyone who wants to boost their confidence on a bike.  There will be an opportunity to visit the BMX track after the ride: Platt Fields BMX - Pay and Ride sessions.  Open to all.  Users can hire a bike and helmet or bring their own.  No previous experience needed, but first time riders on the track should speak to the track staff for advice.  Just £1.10 for under 18s and £2.20 for adults.  Bike hire £2.20. Open Sundays 10am-5pm (subject to special events and poor weather). Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.
