The park was packed with people enjoying the sunshine today, but we weren't happy to see groups of young teens riding fast and recklessly along the main paths on bikes and electric scooters.

Riding bikes in the park is allowed, but only with respect for the safety of other park users, especially elderly people and young children. However it is illegal to ride a privately owned electric scooter on public land including pavements, roads and parks. You can read more about the rules and penalties here
