To be fair, you get that everywhere though don’t you?
Biggest inconvenience at Phillips park is the dog walkers on the bike trails now and again.
Not a problem, just something to be aware of.
It’s a massively popular place for walkers, dog owners, runners and cyclists, which is why it feels so safe to me.
It’s great to see the place used.
The more people there, the safer I feel.
Have seen a huge incease in local yoot on BMX’s and MTB’s round there over the last couple of years – never had an issue or felt threatened by them though.
Used to ride home regularly from Manchester after the nightclubs had kicked out – riding through Collyhurst & Cheetham Hill at 3 in the morning whilst trying to eat a kebab is much, much scarier than anything you’ll find at Phillips Park or Lee Quarry. 🙂
