Hadleigh Park - Olympic 2012 - badly neglected

Unfortunately, since the 2012 Olympics MTB race was held at the venue little has been done by the council to maintain it. Local riders did volunteers at the start to help with the track but this was not supported by the park. Many trails are now shut, and the track has been out of use for years with no MTB races being held here. Features are overgrown and can not be ridden. The dual slalom is now just a single track with one of the tracks taken back by nature and the other almost grassed over. The gravel is loose and sketchy in places where you can ride the track. I tend to ride through and out to better local trails in the woods.

The cafe and bike shop are still open but that is about it.

What do you like?

Not many, there is a nice view of Canvey

What could be improved?

See above, not worth a trip, even if you live local.

Would you recommend?

no
