Due to increased wear and tear, Watchmoor Bike Park is temporarily closed for essential maintenance. 

The state: Our ranger team work hard to keep everything running smoothly, but specialist work on this scale requires help from civil engineers to reshape and reinstate the tabletops, improve surfacing, and bring the bike park back to its best. 

The decision to temporarily close Watchmoor was not taken lightly as we know how loved it is by the local community. However, the safety of riders always comes first. 

We appreciate your understanding and support whilst we arrange for this essential maintenance to be carried out.

There was a lot of talk about forming a volunteer dig crew which would be a great step forward.
