Las net het volgende, helaas in Engeland, wordt tijd dat er in NL ook zo iets komt!
Cyclopark, a major new complex offering facilities for cycling, running and extreme sports, is scheduled to open its doors to the public near Gravesend, Kent, in spring 2012. Kent County Council is behind the scheme, which will be located in 43 hectares (106 acres) of landscaped parkland and is being delivered by civil engineering firm VolkerFitzpatrick.
The development, which will cost nearly £10m, will incorporate a 340m BMX racetrack and a skate park, as well as a 2.9km (1.8-mile) circuit track for cycling and running. Other facilities will include a new 600sq m (6,458sq ft) multi-use games area; and 6km (3.7 miles) of mountain bike trails, with the complex capable of hosting an array of events.
Sport England; British Cycling; and the Homes and Communities Agency have also offered funding towards the scheme, in addition to the Colyer Fergusson Charitable Trust and EU.Earlier this year, sport minister Hugh Robertson visited the site. He said: "It is vital that we provide the facilities for local people to enjoy sport and keep fit and healthy. "With the Olympics taking place in the year that Cyclopark is due to open, 2012 looks set to be an incredible year for sport; not only in London but throughout the South East."
