We start on Easter Monday (1/4/24) from 2-4pm (weather permitting)

This is a one off in the afternoon for the first session of the year .

Following that we meet every Monday evening from 6pm-dusk


– Beginners/Young Riders 6pm-7pm
– Experienced Rider 7-dusk
Thursday evening sessions (6:30pm-8:30pm) for experienced riders will commence in May.

These sessions will run every week (weather permitting) through till September. (We might move these start times around a little bit at the beginning/end of the season to make the most of the daylight).

Sessions fees will be £1 for track members or £10 for non-members. This is inclusive of bike hire if required.

Poole Wheelers will now be administering the track membership scheme. This will be kept at the same rate as previous years and will cover the track & bike hire fees for all of the above sessions for 2024.

  • Under 18 – £55
  • Adults – £70

To make the administration of this easier, velodrome membership will only be available to Poole Wheelers members (don’t worry if your already a member of another club, PW offer 2nd claim membership for only £5)

If you want to use it privately outside of the published sessions you can book directly with Active Dorset by using this link https://portal.sportskey.com/venues/slades-park
