In 2022 after a major revamp by trailbuilders Forte Trailscapes they introduced an all-weather surface on the table line, dual, jungle, and introduced a new black advanced jump trail. There is also an all-weather push-up track (no more using the path) and a decent-sized start hill. Not all the tracks are weatherproofed (e.g. dirt jumps more for dryer months) which allows for future flexibility in build plans. A new fence around the facility ensures the safety of riders and the general public.

Fun place to hang out at

Southampton Bike Park is a fun day out for a mess around, with plenty of jumps and pumps to keep you smiling. As it is a small push up you're able to get in as many runs as you want during the day, and it stays fairly quiet. It can be quite loose in the dry but with it being fairly easy runs that are quite short it doesn't have much of an impact. The runs are quite fun with there being a couple of slightly bigger jumps on the DJ line. I haven't ridden the 2km route as I took my little singlespeed. I would definitely recommend it as a fun day out!

What do you like?

Quite a few different line choices Something for everyone of all skill levels

What could be improved?

Tracks are slightly blown out and a bit overgrown
