The project was developed after consultation with local residents and young people from Tow Law and has been progressed with backing from Tow Law Community partnership. The track improvements were designed by trail designer and builder Pete Laing who worked with young people from Tow Law Youth Club to create an improved facility that would address the young people’s requests. Once re-opened, the site will provide a skills based course which will be suitable for all ages and abilities and will be an additional leisure facility for the Tow Law Community.

An opening event happened 8th June at 1pm. As part of the afternoon people were be invited to experience the track using demo bikes kindly provided by Red Ape, Bishop Auckland. Trainers were on hand to give advice and pointers on how to use the track.
