HYPE Footgolf website<\/a>. Once open to the public, games will cost \u00a35 for children under 16 and \u00a310 for adults. Free bike hire will continue to run every Sunday through the summer holidays for Hype Urban Bike members, who need to bring along ID to enjoy a two-hour ride.\n<\/p>\n\n As part of the opening day celebrations, HYPE will also be providing free bike hire with, with bikes for all ages available, from balance bikes for children to adult bicycles.\n<\/p>\n
\n Further year-round activities planned for the site following its official opening will include repairs and adult group cycle sessions, alongside bike hire and footgolf, to encourage people to get outside and active, and will cater to people of all ages and abilities.\n<\/p>\n
\n Matthew Houghton from HYPE Merseyside said: \u201cOur vision for this site was to take a neglected, empty space, reclaim it for public use. At HYPE we are passionate about bringing back green spaces to engage our children and young people in positive activities, it’s something we\u2019ve been doing since 2016.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cLike many residents who have spoken to us during the project\u2019s development, I have happy memories of spending the holidays with friends and family down on the chip and putt course and we believe that our footgolf course will bring that back to our waterfront, allowing families to make memories together, one kick at a time,\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cNot only will this allow families and people of all ages and abilities to get active and improve their health through a fun activity, our bike hire, adult cycle sessions and maintenance workshops will help to get people cycling and learn valuable skills, supporting efforts to boost active travel across in Wirral and across the Liverpool City Region.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cNone of this would have been possible without the support of Wirral Borough Council, the LCR Combined Authority, or our amazing young people and volunteers who have worked so hard to make our vision a reality, and we are truly grateful for everything they have done.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis is just the first stage for our site. We are now looking forward to what is possible in the next five years, and we have ambitious plans to make Wirral Coastal Leisure Park a place for the people and for our region\u2019s health and wellbeing.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe look forward to working with the local community, our young people and team, the council and combined authority to fulfil our vision to bring people together and provide access to healthy activities for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Youth organisation, HYPE Merseyside, will officially launch its new community footgolf course on Coastal Drive in New Brighton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-16905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
