The old American Adventure site is being put out to Tender to Develop, there is a small posibilities that they may include some cycling facilities as its going to be a leisure related development.

86 Views and no responses (yet!).
Do all you locals think that the area has enough facilities already?
Steve's got the start of a good idea, there is masses of room at American Adventure, and Shipley Park right next to it (which is a pretty damn good cross course, except for the *cough* hills....) a bit of effort and you could end up with anything from a simple improvement to facilities for off road all the way thro to something similar to Shrewsbury/Hog Hill. Probably easier too as there was an Amusement park there before, so lots of facilities are already plumbed in, and theres access.......
Whats not to like?
I think its a good idea and i'm a thousand miles away........
Anyone else got any suggestions? |

Guys lets no miss the opportunity.
