QUEZON City Mayor Maria Josefina 'Joy' Belmonte announced on Sunday that the local government opened a new bike park and trails at a former disposal facility in Barangay Payatas.
The bike park was the result of a program by her administration that created a technical working group in 2020 which was tasked with the redevelopment of the former dumpsite into a public open space for recreational and environmental awareness purposes.This is also in line with Belmonte's 14-point agenda to build a 'liveable, green and sustainable city,' QC Public Affairs chief Engelbert Apostol told The Manila Times.
The other two are the 'beginner trail' and the 'perimeter trail' for mountain biking, gravel routes, and mild steep ascents and descents.The city government has established 167 kilometers of protected national and city bike lanes, as well as 15 bike ramps in overpasses and underpasses, Apostol said.As of April 2023, the city has over 200 parks and open spaces and aims to double the number by 2030.
