For years this trail had been closed off to the public, until a local project was organised to re-establish and open the mountain bikes trail within the park. The trails have been redesigned and developed to include a family friendly beginner’s route, with additional options for those ready to make the jump to the next level of riding, and is of course completed with the black trail to challenge your expect rider.
