Delia Park and the Nature Trail were upgraded this past week with new bike repair stations!

The bike repair stations are situated at Delia Park, 19 Mile Road, and at Beaumont Hospital, and will give Nature Trail users an opportunity to prepare their bikes for the ride ahead, or make repairs as needed along the way in the event of an unforeseen issue.

Each station is equipped with an air pump and pressure gauge, a mount to hoist the bike up for repairs, as well as various common tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. The bike repair station are each part of a respite area that includes a coordinating bench, trash can, and bike rack.
 
The Nature Trail is a two mile soft surfaced non-motorized trail that meanders along the Plumbrook and Gibson Drain. The trail is ten feet wide and is a great resource for fitness enthusiasts and those looking to experience the feel of “up north” in our own backyard!
