Lochaber Wheeled Sports Society is to commission a feasibility study to gauge support for a new pump track, trials bike park and skatepark in Fort William.
Two site options have been identified: the old tennis courts behind Lochaber Leisure Centre and a parcel of land owned by Liberty and leased by Stramash just off the A82 close to Inverlochy Castle. Subject to funding, it is proposed phase one would see a pump track built, with subsequent phases comprising a skatepark and trials bike park. The project was awarded £10,000 from the West Coast Communities Growth Trust after winning the Lochaber Chamber of Commerce investment competition Dragons’ Glen in November last year. Led by local dentist and mountain bike enthusiast Gregor Muir, the team made an impassioned pitch on the importance of biking in the town and its role in getting more youngsters involved in outdoor sports.
The team now needs to carry out a consultation exercise, which will inform the feasibility study which, in turn, will be used to support funding applications.
