Description
Wetherby BMX Track is a free, volunteer-run BMX track beside Sustrans Route 67, near Freemans Way and the Hallfield estate in Wetherby, West Yorkshire. It is a rebuild of the town's old community BMX track, created around forty years ago, with a refreshed layout and a new hard-packed surface. Local volunteers brought the old track back to life, supported by Leeds Parks and Countryside Service, Wetherby Town Council, Wetherby Lions and local companies.
