A new six lane running track in Scarborough should be completed in the next two weeks.
It's being built on the former Bramcote School playing field.
It will be managed by Scarborough College but will be available for community use on evenings and weekends.
Richard Guthrie is from Broadland Properties who have been working on the project.
The development consists of a 400m, 6 lane athletics running track of an elliptical shape with straight sections on the longer sides parallel to Holbeck Hill and Filey Road.The latter includes an 8 lane finishing straight, also suitable for 100m races.
A 75m long/triple jump facility is planned between the track and the northern part of the Holbeck Hill frontage. The grassed area within the track will eventually be set out as a rugby pitch, measuring 90 x 60m.
Richard Guthrie - from developers, Broadland Properties - says the location has leant itself well to becoming an athletics track.
Richard says the track will have floodlights and will be available for use by local sports clubs in the evening.
