It would be a shame if they have switched to mx as I was hoping to check it out this year,
Let us know what the outcome is

Well heard back after messaging the owner on facebook if the bike park will reopen

'im not 100% sure i would like it to reopen as a bike park but i will keep u informed if it deos mate'

so who knows, might be mx over winter, bikepark in the summer.

fingers crossed

Found a bit more info

Just been anounced on there facebook :

Greensands Bike Park:
Sorry we won't be open in 2011. Major engineering works stopped play and tracks and jumps have been removed. Thanks for all the support in 2010


After people commenting and asking why :

Greensands Bike Park:
Environment Agency requirements, and Council red tape- blah blah blah


So greensands is no more :(

Seems such a waste of money seeing as it was only built last year

Good spot Brad!

I might just keep it on there for a couple months and point out its closed in-case anyone is wondering what has happened to it.

Cheers
