Works near completion on new Summerhill Cycling Hub
The construction of a new 750-metre cycling track at Summerhill Country Park has been completed.
It has been designed to provide accessible, traffic-free community cycling facilities and opportunities for people of all ages and cycling abilities.
The “free-form” tarmac track is fenced and floodlit and built on gently sloping terrain. It incorporates varying elevations and degrees of cornering difficulty.
Two secure cycle storage containers have also been installed on site.
In addition, a dedicated balance bike and learn-to-ride area is being created on the grassed area to the side of the Summerhill Visitors Centre for younger people to learn new skills and should be completed in September.
The project has been made possible by funding from Sport England on behalf of British Cycling and Hartlepool Borough Council.
