Residents have been invited to a free drop-in session about the installation of a pump track at Battenhall Park.

Worcester City Council officers will attend to answer questions about the new recreation facility.

Lloyd Griffiths, corporate director for operations, homes & communities at the council, said: "The new pump track will provide a brilliant facility for children to practice their skills and socialise with friends.

"Similar facilities in other parts of Worcestershire have been a success and we are looking forward to installing this inclusive provision.

"We have listened to residents during the consultation process and have been working to alleviate their concerns."

The track will be designed for all ages and skill levels, accommodating bikes, scooters, skateboards, roller blades, and adaptive bikes or wheelchairs.

The objective is to help develop people's cycle skills and confidence riding in a safe environment.

The project received approval from the council’s Place & Economic Development Committee in January.

In preparation, the council has conducted botanical and geophysical surveys, plus flood risk and noise assessments.

The drop-in will be on Thursday, June 27, with residents welcomed anytime between 6pm and 8pm at St Peter’s Baptist Church on Eden Close.
