It is an urban bike park with an active community similar to the close by Tottenham BMX in Tottenham, Brixton BMX in Brockwell Park and Peckham BMX.

The BMX Track

It is built in a "W" design and has jumps, step-ups and big berms. You can pump without pedalling, manual or jump. A great progressive park. It's open all year (not to be ridden at night mind) and free to use.
The first section is the smoothest for manualing and jumping and is often done as it's own mini loop. It of course benefits from a slight downhill gradient .The second section requires more concentration and technique in a way as the gradient is lost slightly so you need to pump to maintain speed and momentum.

History

It was completed in March 2011 by Bike Track working with Hackney council, Haggerston Park Users Group, Access Sport and volunteers. It is part of the 5 BMX tracks built as part of the Olympic Legacy project.

If you would like to learn how to ride the track, Hackney BMX Club run coaching sessions. To be kept updated and check out times visit Hackney BMX, follow @HackneyBMX on twitter, visit the Hackney BMX facebook page.
