All Ability cycling sessions: cycling should be accessible and possible for everyone, regardless of age, disability or experience. To enable this we run two All Ability Cycling Clubs on the Park. The clubs are open to all and have a range of adapted cycles including tandem tricycles, side-by-side and platform tricycles.

Each summer the Park embarks on an Active East programme. Working alongside the Major League Baseball and Muller Anniversary Games there is a full programme of free and accessible community sport across the Park.

GoodGym is a social enterprise that pairs regular runners with isolated older people who act as their motivational ‘coaches’. A running club with a conscience, GoodGym offers a simple way for people to volunteer, help the elderly and keep fit. Runners stay fit by making regular visits to their ‘coaches’ who in turn provide motivation to exercise and look forward to the weekly contact with their runners. 

GoodGym also holds group runs which are combined with physical community tasks. Volunteer runners challenge themselves to clear out a community hall or build raised beds for a school garden. Soon there will be group runs taking place in the Park and we look forward to welcoming all the runners that do good as they get fit! 

The programme currently has over 1,000 runner members who have made 2,500 visits to 146 coaches. We’re looking for more members who want to make a real difference to isolated people in the local community. 

For more information or to join, please visit the GoodGym website.
