New benches arrive at site
Two new picnic benches have arrived at site. These were kindly donated by Ellon@heart. We are particularly happy that one of the benches has an extended area designed so that a wheelchair user can easily use the bench.
Ellon Adaptive Bikes gets a new home
On Wednesday mornings the Ellon adaptive bikes project run by Ythan Cycle Club in conjunction with Grampian adaptive bike bothies will run disability bike sessions at the wheel park circuit. Come on down and try out many of the adaptive bikes in the Ythan fleet.
Aberdeen Cycle Forum
It is gratifying that cycling groups can see the benefit of such a facility for building a love of cycling that lasts a lifetime. Aberdeen Cycle Forum usually award their best new infrastructure project to a new cycle lane or cycle storage structure. We were so pleased that they awarded Ellon Wheel Park the award for best cycling infrastructure project for 2024.
Ellon Sole Mates
Ellon Sole Mates ( Jog Scotland) presented the Wheel Park with a cheque for £800 to help develop phase 2 of the project. Thank you so much to everyone who took part in their fun run and raised the money to help us make the project even better.
Pump track Rainbow
Occasionally we get a message from the gods about our project. This stunning photo, taken by Scott Cruickshank hopefully means they approve of what we are building
