BikePark Wales To Double In Size

BikePark Wales  plans to double in size with the addition of 27 new trails stretching over 30 kilometers. 

The whopping 27 new runs will vary in length between 400-800 meters. Additionally, there will be two new skills areas, including an area of a disused quarry with rocky shelves and slopes to allow users to learn core skills. The expansion site is adjacent to the existing Bike Park Wales centre. OMG BPW has gone Supernova!

In June 2024 permission was finally approved. To give a taste of the plans.

• We will see more graded trails through from another green, to reds, blacks and jump lines. 

  • Another green

  • A cool blue flow trail will link up the middle of the park to the tunnel

  • The popular Boomslang that just sort of stops before the bottom with a firewood road choice of back up or down will have a new bottom section to complete the ride.

  • There will be a big top-to-bottom red tech trail from the south start area down to the uplift.

  • For jump trails, we will see the development of progressive tracks to fill in the progression gaps between the likes of Popty Ping (blue flow trail) to the A470 (red flow trail) (which today is a big leap in ability between the two).
  • We will also see more progression at the top end going from red to black in jumps

  •  We will see the skills area in the disused quarry at the top of the park near Potty Ping. Expect beginner rollers, jumps, drop-offs, tech climbs, rock rolls, drop-ins and pro-line features. 

  • A proper e-bike loop consisting of 5 or 6 full steep tech climbs and steep tech downs.
