    Loved our visit here, an incredible resource on the edge of Glasgow. Wish it had existed when we were lads, would have been a brilliant experience. Delighted that this has had such a strong impact on the local community - building connections and positivity, well done.

    MTB cycling venue in Glasgow. Excellent for practice. Small but tricky routes, practice areas for jumps, drop offs etc. Man-made pump track.

    Brilliant!!! Plenty of trailers for every level. Would be good if they had toilet facilities and maybe a cafe or vending machine but it's still absolutely brilliant

    I'd have given it 5 stars but there were no toilets and no cafe. My daughter loved the trails and the pump track.

    Some good trails especially the new ones near the pump track. Disappointing that there are no public toilets on site, let's down a family day out.

    Great bike park for budding cyclists who want to practice incline and decline on their preferred bike or scooter. My son loves it here and has come on leaps and bounds with his BMX. Can get quite busy with enthusiast but we'll worth a try.

    Nice, clean pump track

  • 5/5 Fraser P. 1 year ago on Google
    These are my local trails which are fantastic no matter you skill level. Pump track and skills area at the bottom of the hill, a variety of man made trails and decesents throughout and some wild off-piste dotted around the site. Well worth a visit👍

    Great free mountain bike park but is a bit worn and watch out for dog walkers on the longer blue and red trails

  • 4/5 Stephen G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fun with a good range of trails and a jump track. A map would be REALLY useful though. Would save a lot of time wandering about trying to find the correct trails.

  • 3/5 Paul D. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty decent trail setup, let down by very poor trail markings/signs. There are some decent large signs at the main entry points, but the wooden trail markers at intersections have clearly seen better days, with many having no markings to indicate trails or direction of travel.

    No toilets or a wee cafe to spend the day here with children. There are paths for walkers indicated by colours that need to be respected by cyclists and the way round.

  • 3/5 Jamie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Could do with a cafe. Also, the amount of garbage and glass in the carpark is ridiculous. It gets 3 stars because the trails are actually good fun. Just wish the wee junkies and people that use the area wouldn't make such a mess of it.

  • 4/5 Ryan 2 years ago on Google
    Trails are amazing but the lack of facilities and maintenence is a problem, no toilet, trails that are in dire need maintence and other things make me give this trail center a 4 star

  • 5/5 K F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great track and everyone we have met there has been friendly and helpful. Good for kids and adults. If kids are fairly new to biking, better to do a smaller course to build up confidence like cunningar loop.
