Park Life with the kids  

Children love riding their bikes, it’s a fun family activity that gives them a little bit of independence as well as wonderful memories. This Easter, why not hire a bicycle from The Bicycle Hub and explore Regency Cheltenham with the kids?

Riding a bike as a family has many benefits beyond the site seeing including:

  • It improves your fitness as a family without it being a chore
  • It provides good old fashioned family time for a positive mental attitude
  • Improves your bond as a family as memories are being made

Family Friendly Route

Follow the Park Life route in Cheltenham and saddle up to pass the trains and then free wheel to Montpellier Park for a coffee & ice-cream stop. After this pit stop, whizz through the regency back streets past the the oldest building in Cheltenham, St Marys Church and cut across onto Sandford Park to marvel at the beautiful fountains.

Finish your family cycling adventure by pedalling around the town to arrive at Pitville Park and finally rest on a blanket and refuel with a picnic. Why not hop on a rowing boat to feed the duck as an extra special treat for the kids?

Fun Ideas 

  • Why not get pre-plant some mini Easter Eggs in each park? Then create some clues for finding them along the cycling trip.
  • Set a photo challenge of certain objects to capture on a disposable camera. Things like a dog, duck, tree, a street beginning with M, a bridge; you get the drift.Then make a special trip to get them printed, you can then relive your mini bicycle adventure by ticking off the objects!
