CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING TRAIL

The PARC running trail is a 2.5 km off-road trail with ups and downs, grass and gravel, and known as The Butterfly for its particular shape.

The trail is available throughout the year but be prepared to get muddy during the winter months!

The running circuit is used by parkrun on Saturdays (everyone) and Sundays (juniors) between 8am and 10 am

At all other times it is available for anyone who wants to walk or run it for improving health and fitness, or just to enjoy the wonderful views the PARC has to offer. There are some solid wooden benches around the trail where you can sit and rest a while if the mood takes you, too.

The running trail is also used for cross country events by KLB students, Gloucestershire County Cross Country group and fundraising Fun Runs.

WOTTON SKATEPARK

From the day it opened in March 2015, there has been someone using the skate park almost every day of the year. It provides a safe and challenging environment for skateboarders and scooter riders of all ages and abilities.

It is described by the skateboarding community as “A fun little skate park with a bit of everything to skate: fun boxes, rails, ledges, euro gaps, stairs and some transition.”

It is almost constantly in use in daylight hours, with seating and litterbins nearby, and access to the wider PARC.

We have developed a safe tarmac path from town, via the OK Path, to ensure that all skate park visitors can reach the site in safety.

BMX pump track

Our BMX track was built in 2016 and has proved a great success with riders of all ages and abilities. It’s amazing to watch some of our younger visitors taking all the bends at speed but note that it is still challenging enough to attract many older riders.
