Battlebridge Athletics Track

Overview

Battlebridge Athletics Track is a fantastic spot for running, walking, and letting the kids burn off some energy. With a free-to-use 400m track circling a lovely grassy area, it's perfect for families looking to get outdoors and stay active. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, often buzzing with junior football teams, runners, and dog walkers. Most of the time, you'll find it's not too busy, so you can really enjoy your laps without dodging too many people. Suitable for All ages.

But, it does come with a few quirks. The track surface is gravel, which can get a bit muddy after rain, so it's wise to check the weather before you pop down. And while the park is lovely during daylight, it lacks lighting for those who fancy a run after darkmight want to steer clear of that if you're out alone.
