PERRY PARK – CAMPING & TRAINING

Perry Park will be a hive of activity throughout the UCI 2012 BMX World Championships. Located only 4 miles / 6.5 kilometres from the National Indoor Arena (NIA), this huge public park will be the home of the event’s official campsite and will provide the event’s key BMX training facility for riders to train on outside of the official practice sessions inside the NIA. A shuttle bus service will run at regular intervals throughout training and competition days between Perry Park and the NIA and there is ample parking available on site.

Perry Park looks set to be an extremely popular option for both camping and unofficial training so please book early to avoid disappointment (all details required are to follow):
