Do I need to book to use the Cycle Park?

No.

The cycle park is open to the public 24/7 days a week and there is no need to book to use it. There is a lot of space at the park which means many people riding can use it at the same time.

How do I find the Cycle Park?

The Cycle Park is situated on the Folly Sports Park. It is located beyond the far end of the rugby pitches. There is usually ample parking on the Folly Sports Park and Stanford Road leading down to it. Be careful when using the default location on a car satnav system as this may take you to an adjacent housing estate check on Google Maps before you leave!

Am I allowed to bring my dog to the Park?

Yes, of course! You're very welcome to bring your dog along to enjoy the space around the park. We do, however, ask you to clean up after your dog as the space is used by children.

Who looks after the Cycle Park?

The Faringdon Cycle Park land has been leased to the Farcycles cycling charity by the Vale of the White Horse District Council. Farcycles raised the funds, designed and built this unique facility in 2019. This means Farcycles and its members are responsible for maintaining it, keeping it clean and safe, providing lessons and running cycling courses.

Is the Cycle Park manned?

No. Although Farcycles run the Cycle Park they are generally only there when teaching or maintaining the site.

Do I need to bring a bike to use at the Park?

Yes.

If you're coming to use the site for recreational purposes, you will need to bring your own bike.
