A new £16.1m leisure centre has opened in Merseyside.
A Knowsley Council spokesman said that later in the year, a 400m outdoor velodrome and BMX track is due to open.
"The BMX track will be located in the centre of the velodrome, which has only been seen once before in Europe at Antwerp in Belgium," he said.
Councillor Eddie Connor, cabinet member for leisure, community and culture, said: "It's great that we are able to offer such extensive facilities in Knowsley, including our new velodrome and BMX track.
"I'd encourage as many people as possible to come and have a look around and use the world-class facilities we have on offer here."



"A new BMX track is opening later this year at Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park in Longview Drive in Huyton.
It will be in the centre of a 400 metre outdoor cycling velodrome and is unique in Britain.
It is hoped a club of enthusiasts will help co-ordinate the use of the track and encourage as many people as possible to give it a go.
It is to be called the Knowsley Knights Community BMX Club and the search is on for volunteers to coach and be committee members.
The club will be supported by both the British Cycling Association and Knowsley Council’s leisure and culture department."



cool  :)
