A new 'all wheels' track has opened at Marple Memorial Park.

The track will provide a place for tricks and spins, for cyclists, skateboarders, scooters, and roller skaters.

Stockport Council said it hopes the new track will provide families and youngsters "more opportunities to get moving, challenge themselves and enjoy the park".

The new area has been funded with a grant from Sport England, who are also due to sign off soon on an agility area nearby.

The track forms part of a series of wider improvements to the area, centring around the new Marple Hub - a building featuring a pool, gym, cafe, library and more, opening on 11 December.

Cllr Grace Baynham, cabinet member for parks, highways and transport Services, said: "It's brilliant to see these new facilities open and ready for people to enjoy.

"Marple Memorial Park is already a much-loved community space, and the all wheels track and agility trail give children, young people and families even more ways to get active and have fun outdoors.

"We want our parks and green spaces to be welcoming places where people of all ages can be active, spend time together and enjoy being outdoors.

"This investment is another great example of how we're continuing to improve these important spaces for our communities."

Kevin Mills, Sport England's director facilities and technical development, added: "Marple Hub is set to make a real impact on physical activity in the community.

"Our investment will help create a more inclusive, flexible swimming offer, giving more people the chance to get active, build confidence in the water and enjoy being active together.

"Combined with improvements to Marple Memorial Park, this is about more than great facilities - it's about creating places that inspire people to move more, play sport and make activity part of everyday life."
