The Wythenshawe Games SkyRide

Now in its fourth year, Wythenshawe Games is Manchester’s largest community sports festival, taking place over seven days in and around Wythenshawe and centering on the beautiful and historic Wythenshawe Park and Hall. In collaboration with the games SkyRide Local are running our very own Wythenshawe Park ride. This is a fabulous traffic-free route within Wythenshawe wooded park with a stretch along a cycle lane on the northern and southern edges of the park. A great family park, with plenty of places for picnics and recreational facilities such as tennis courts, a children's play area and a café. The park is also steeped in history, so after the ride why not look out for the statue of Oliver Cromwell or explore historic Wythenshawe Hall? Wythenshawe Games 2015 takes place from Wednesday 22nd to Tuesday 28th July. Activities centre around the beautiful and historic Wythenshawe Park, where a temporary Games Village is constructed. Satellite events also take place in other parts of Wythenshawe at some of the fabulous sports venues the community has to offer. If you've not cycled for a while and are 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.
