A £7,000 scheme to improve Colwick Park for cyclists, walkers and runners has now been completed.
The work was completed as part of Nottingham City Council’s Cycle City Ambition Programme which has a commitment to making the city’s green spaces more accessible.
One of the park’s main cycle paths has been resurfaced to provide a more stable and attractive surface. More than 60 tons of crushed limestone was added to the existing surface to remove pot holes and repair erosion.
Councillor Nick McDonald Portfolio Holder for Business, Growth and Transport at Nottingham City Council, said: “The Cycle City Ambition Programme is looking to improve facilities for cyclists across the city, whether people cycle to commute to work, exercise or just for fun. That is why it is important to join up green spaces to the network and make them better for cyclists.
“Colwick Park is popular for recreational cyclists and is also used by walkers and runners – on Saturdays there are typically more than 200 parkrun UK runners in the park.
The pathway improvements will make the park more enjoyable for cyclists and all park users.”
