22/02/2021 A Lake District community is celebrating after British Cycling awarded £25,000 to secure its hopes of a new park cycling track. Work is due to start after Easter on the new cycling circuit at Queenâs Park in Windermere, better known to generations of locals as The Rec. The project will be the fruition of three yearsâ tireless dedication by community group Windermere Park For All, working with South Lakeland District Council officers. The group of local parents has been fundraising since 2017 to improve the popular council-owned park for future generations, and the pump track will mark stage one of a major overhaul at The Rec.
