Description

Alvaston Park BMX Track, Derby is a national standard BMX race track in Alvaston Park, on the south east side of Derby. It is the home track of Derby BMX Club, a volunteer-run club that holds regular race meetings and runs coaching, and it is open to the public when the club is not using it.

The Track

This is a full national standard BMX race track of hard-packed straights and sealed berms, floodlit for evening use. It has hosted regional and national race meetings, including British Championship racing, and the Lloyds National BMX Race Series visited in August 2026. Riders should turn up with a full face helmet, gloves, long sleeves and long trousers.

  • National standard BMX race track with a starter gate
  • Floodlit, so the club can run evening and winter sessions
  • Open to the public when no club session or race event is on: check the calendar on the club website before you travel

Sessions and Coaching

Derby BMX Club is run by volunteers and organises sessions most weeks. Monday evenings are open gates, welcoming club members and out-of-club riders without any need to take coaching. Under 16s can join Thursday coaching, which is split into a beginners group and a regional and national racers group, and riders need to be able to stand and pedal a lap before they start, so email the club first rather than just turning up. Wednesday expert sessions are invite only. The club does not currently offer adult-only coaching.

  • Monday open gates, 6:30 to 8pm: £3 for members, £5 for non-members
  • Thursday coaching for under 16s: £6 per rider
  • Wednesday expert coaching for invited national riders: members only
  • Helmets and bikes can be hired by club members in a limited range of sizes; otherwise bikes are hired only to Derby primary riders attending coaching

Prices are correct as of October 2026 but subject to change, so check current rates on the club website before you go.
