Wellington Town Council has issued a safety plea to users of the new pump track at the bottom of the Recreation Ground.
A spokesperson said: “The pump track has been a smash hit so far and it has been amazing to see people of all ages enjoying it.
“As with any new facility, a few teething issues are making themselves known.
“In particular, some youngsters are a bit too excited to get on to the track and are racing through the entrance to the rec and making a beeline for the track. While the enthusiasm is great, safety is more important.
“We would appreciate if people could dismount their bikes when they enter the rec and walk them to the track. This will make the entrance safer for all, especially the youngsters in the nearby play areas.
“If you have children who want to try out the track, there is a handy online guide for parents to help you figure out how to best introduce them to the space and stay safe: https://www.bikeworcester.org.uk/blog/pump-tracking-for-parents
“Remember that at the official opening event on 26th September we will have experts on hand to do demonstrations and answer any questions you may have.”
