The project to build the Marsh Tracks cycling facility in Rhyl has been awarded £500,000 of funding from the Welsh Assembly Government, Deputy Minister for Housing and Regeneration Jocelyn Davies has announced. The funding completes a £1 million package and means that building work can start immediately, with completion of the first phase expected by July.
The facility will make use of a disused landfill site on Marsh Road in Rhyl. It will consist of a road cycling track; a national standard BMX track; a club house with café, changing facilities, shop and meeting room; storage facilities; spectator viewing areas, and event camping. The site will also include biodiversity areas at the centre of the track and around the perimeter and will contribute to the regeneration of the Marsh road area.
As well as contributing the physical and environmental regeneration of the area, Marsh Tracks will also provide opportunities for young people, particularly those from deprived areas, to take part in sport at a low cost and programmes run at the site will link to schools, the wider community and tourism. The venue will also be used for other sports such as running, hand cycling and Nordic skiing.
The Welsh Assembly Government’s contribution to the scheme will be matched with funding of £250,000 from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts, £250,000 from WREN (Waste Recycling Environmental) and funding and support from Denbighshire County Council who will project manage the construction scheme.
