Free to ride Bike Parks
Originally, Parel Vallei High school was in need of a venue host their chapter of the very popular Schools MTB league competition. A proposal was floated to temporarily use Southey Vines Park in central Somerset west as a venue. A route was mapped out, marked with lime and levelled so that the kids had a track to race on. The venue and new track proved to be a great success. The Spur League competition has been held here since 2013.
Please note that the wearing bicycle helmets are required when riding in the park.
There are no public toilets available at the park, please plan accordingly.

This has been carried out by a qualified Edunova team and in full partnership with the Western Cape Department of Education, given that this approach builds sustainability into the programme.
The focus for 2021 onwards will continue to be teacher and learner-centered with the vision to improve learning styles and integrating learner Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools.
