Hadleigh Park Mountain Bike Trail Centre

It could be so good if the council actually cared, instead they are completly silent on the matter. The trails are still used but they have fallen into such a state they are becoming almost unrideable in areas.... maybe the is the councils plan.... it certainly feels like they dont care and want to shut the place down, its a real shame.

They should have contracted this out to a industry specific company with knowledge and experieince in trail building and maintenance but nothing. We have heard a maintenance company were put in place, if this is the case they must have either not started, or have taken the money and ran as nothing has been touched in years.

All we can keep doing is raising the issue and maybe (although we all won't hold our collective breaths), the council will do the right thing and get an experienced trail maintenance/building company and bring the bike park up to a good standard so we can all enjoy the trails once again

Nothing currently, its an utter mess

Used to be a great place to ride.  If you're thinking about it now, don't do it.  Trails are in awful condition and well past their prime with no maintenance in the last few years.  Features closed and still closed with no sign of being worked in or reopened.  You get people walking on the trails, sign posts are non existent so make sure you have a good sense of direction, all in all a country park now, not a top MTB venue.

Great place for kids to learn to ride with Hadleigh Park Cycles, mechanics and staff are great in there too, a family picnic but, terrible for an actual mountain bike ride.  

Bike repairs spot on, learning to ride and coaching there is great.

Poor! Trail surface dangerous, some features been shut for too long. No consultation to users. 

The views. Sadly a lot of the features that have been closed

Please restore to this to its former glory. I used to love and visit often. Now, I never go

Such a pity for the history of the 2012 Olympic Games

It’s relatively close to go and ride there from Chelmsford.

Bike shop on site 

There’s a gnarly hill to test your FTP - about the only decent bit left on it !

This was an amazing opportunity f oh r MTBers in/around Essex, but has sadly been left to rot!

After 2012 all we heard across many sports was the ‘Olympic Legacy’… where has that gone?… 

it had everything going for it, but now needs serious cash injection to get it back on its feet…

I like/d the technical difficulty of the features.

To be able to ride an Olympic class course.
