Northampton Urban Bike Park, situated on the former Hardingstone Nine golf course, is in the final stages of construction work and will open by the end of the month (August), according to West Northamptonshire Council (WNC).
The initiative was sparked three years ago by Northampton resident and bike enthusiast Tony Skirrow, who urged WNC to take advantage of British Cycling's 'Places to Ride' fund.
The site cost around £750,000 in total, with around £250,000 coming from the Places To Ride scheme.
A celebratory event was held at Delapre Golf Club on Thursday (August 11) which saw WNC leader Jonathan Nunn deliver a speech, as well as Amy Gardner from British Cycling and Chair of Northamptonshire Sport, Steve Adams.
Take a look a the bike park with the pictures below.
