Plans for a second pump cycling track in Worcester are due to be discussed by councillors this popularity of the first one, in Battenhall Park, prompted the city council to draw up plans for a second, larger tracks are made up of hills and banked turns and are designed to be ridden by cyclists who generate momentum by using up and down movements, instead of pedaling or new facility at Perdiswell would feature two separate tracks, one for experienced users and another for children under the age of eight.
Councillors are due to look at the plans at a meeting on 23 June, with a report which notes a shortage of play facilities in the north of the cityHannah Cooper, vice chair of the Place and Economic Development Committee, said: "The popularity of the smaller pump track in Battenhall Park shows what a popular sport this is, and that there is strong demand for another track in the city."The new track would cost £150,000, if approved.
