Kensington Metropark offers 4,481 acres of wooded, hilly terrain surrounding beautiful Kent Lake and is home to an abundance of wildlife and waterfowl. Come enjoy a multitude of recreation opportunities throughout the year, from biking and boating to cross-country skiing and ice fishing. Take a swim at one of our beaches; get soaked at the Splash ‘n’ kent bayside cruiser Blast; or just spend the day fishing, hiking or picnicking along the water. Take a tour aboard the Island Queen; hit the tees for a round of golf; or spin through a game of disc golf. Book an assessment – some of our repairs and services require booking a bike assessment as we’ll need to establish what part is required and may need to order in it.
If it was other way around and only a token effort to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, this would have been approved ages ago. I speak as someone who worked on a business park where the cycle lane was only ever used to park cars in, and nothing was ever done to stop this. Fascinating case study of the car-centric planning system.
Equipment is on engineered wood fiber (wood mulch) safety surfacing. Dogs are allowed on the trails, but must be on a 6-foot leash at all times. An 8.5-mile loop takes you around Kent Lake and has several steep hills.
For the youngest downhill enthusiasts, we even offer a “bunny hill” lined with padded trees. The sledding hills and beginner snowboarding hills are located at Orchard picnic area. This area offers a nearby picnic shelter with tables and grills. Reunions, graduations, anniversaries, birthdays and any other way your family gets together – make your event more eventful with the Metroparks! We have picnic shelters available at Kensington Metropark for all your event and gathering needs.
We’re adding new accessible picnic tables and grills to several picnic shelters throughout the park system. Work continues on installation of new concrete grill pads and securing picnic tables in arrangements that allow for unobstructed movement around them. Picnic shelter rental information will be updated on our website as changes are made. West Boat Launch area has an accessible floating dock, launch and gangway, two pea stone/sand launch areas, parking lot restriping, accessible picnic tables and grills, accessible walkways and an accessible vault latrine restroom. Find a list of our 350 park and rides and the transit organizations that manage them, ride share commuting options and other public transit options from local organizations around the state.
Perhaps a compromise with a few visitor parking spaces on-site added to the access to the negotiated off-site parking for staff, will allay the highways agencies fears. I see a great marketing opportunity being lost here where Brompton can’t have this car free environment, in spite of offering car parking nearby. 2) the existing retail car park is presumably manageable for the highways when working at capacity, so will not be worse when Brompton are using it. Due to clearance reduction, vehicle’s height over 9-5 inches for northbound and 7-11 inches for southbound, are advised to exit prior to approaching the 130 Street Bridge overpass.
Bookable – some of our repairs and services are bookable. Whether you’re a regular cyclist or a fair-weather enthusiast, your bike needs regular TLC to

we offer our FREE Bike Health Check and a range of bike servicing. Through the FREE Bike Health Check, one of Halfords’ trained technicians will assess the

A new build estate near us has a cycle lane and pedestrian lane on the pavement and shock shock horror, the bike lane is just used as parking.
If they car share it should be priced to be reasonable if there’s 3 or more. I have parking challenges for work etc. I generally think it needs to be priced to allow when “needed” but to discourage. However, the active travel-centred nature of the £100m scheme now appears to have been the catalyst for a series of delays to the project. “You can understand crime rising, because of the cost of living and inflation, people are becoming desperate,” he said.
Some simple repairs are quick and can sometimes be carried out on the spot whilst other repairs can require more time and possibly require a part ordering in. Yes, although our bike mechanics may not be able to see you straight away if they’re got
other appointments booked in. We’d therefore recommend booking an appointment online
first. Here at Halfords we take pride in the bikes we design, build and sell and are happy that all of our
bikes are of the highest qualty. That’s why we offer a Limited Lifetime Guarantee on the frame and
rigid forks of all Halfords and Halfords exclusive brand’s for the original owner. On top of this, we also cover all other components on the bike for 1 year unless the manufacturer
states otherwise.
