Bicycles for hire in Heaton Park
Bicycle hire has now been added to Heaton Park's list of family attractions with a new partnership between Manchester Leisure and the national bike-hire company Cyclelife.
From Saturday March 31 visitors to the park will be able to hire a bicycle from the Boathouse at the lakeside and pedal round the 640-acre park.
Raleigh Cycles supply most of Cyclelife's bikes and together they have sponsored five bikes for use by the Manchester Leisure's Park Security teams across the City.
The Security Officers will now be able to get quickly to places they can't reach by car, which will enhance the security provision in all of Manchester City Council's parks.
Councillor Mark Hackett, Executive Member for Culture and Leisure, said: "The range of bicycles on offer will allow the whole family to enjoy cycling in the park together. This is a healthy addition to the park's facilities and a very pleasant way of keeping fit and enjoying Heaton Park's sights. Also the generous donation of the five bikes for the park security teams will help us improve on the already high standard of visitor care in our parks."
