This route may be the shortest of our routes in Halifax, but it is perfect for those wishing to become more confident on their bikes.
Situated at the western edge of the town the beautiful People's Park is one of the finest surviving examples of a "Joseph Paxton" Park. Created back in 1857, the Park was then donated to the people of Halifax by Sir Francis Crossley.
The route is suitable for all kinds of bikes from balance bikes all the way through to tricycles and trailer bikes. Come and have a pootle around and then maybe stay and spend some time in this green and pleasant haven.
