A brand new bike ‘playground’ has opened in Liscard, on a site which used to be home to Central Park’s rose garden.
The bike playground, or pump track, is a continuous circuit of banked turns and features which does not require pedalling and can be used in different ways to suit all ages and abilities. The council says this means complete beginners right through to experienced riders looking for a challenge can use the facility.
The former sunken rose garden was based right in the middle of the park and it is thought the central location will help the new bike ‘playground’ to be visible and grow in popularity. Wirral Council said pump tracks are becoming increasingly popular and help people develop their fitness, skills and coordination as they teach you to use the ground to generate speed.
