What a shame
What a shame that the legacy of the Olympics has been left to basically rot away. Overgrown and unkept, it could be so much more. I had the pleasure of riding this just after the 2012 Olympics before it was redeveloped and it was loads of fun but it has just gone downhill from there.
I don't really understand why the council don't look after it considering the amount of positive impact it can have on a community

Forgotten place
It is very sad to see how badly this once amazing venue degrades right before our eyes. Lack of council support in maintaining the Olipic Legacy track leading to discouraging conditions to ride. Once fun to ride features became simply unsafe to ride simply due to lack of basic maintenance. Was a part of the voloutery group trying to do what we could to make good arouded areas on the track. However even that group of entuzjasts got discouraged by the politics of Council and Park Management...
This place deserves better! This place needs ettention such an amazing opportunity for funantial boost to local area and business going to waste...
What do you like?
Cafe is good.
What could be improved?
Lack of very much needed maintenance, features dagrading making those unsafe to ride. Track overgrown with the vegetation.
The place is forgotten and left to rot!

Hadleigh park
Poor quality surface to ride on. Worn out tracks. Over hanging weeds and brambles . In dire need of repair and maintenance. Would be better in private hands. Could be a money maker under the right management.
What do you like?
Facilities are good. Friendly riders. Dryer than other trails nearby in winter
What could be improved?
Run down and in desperate need of investment to return it to its former glory.
Would you recommend?
no

Hadliegh park
Lots of good trails , but not a lot of difference in these trails , some of the trails are lots of fun and definitely worth taking a bike around , lots of good facilities such as the cafe and the bike shop , great individuals in both ,
What do you like?
Lots of great opportunities and different trails , great people and great community, lots of fun opportunities for day outs
What could be improved?
Some trails not cared for enough, most are closed and often forgotten, need more variety and more smaller areas and a doing up of the gap jump and pump track
Would you recommend?
yes
