Country Park bans bicycles while Greensboro Science Center builds new parking lot
Summary
A staff member said bicycles are temporarily banned from portions of Country Park Loop at Ormond Road because those segments will be used daily for construction of a new Greensboro Science Center parking lot; walkers may still use the lakeside path and alternate parking was listed.
A staff member announced that bicycles are temporarily banned from portions of Country Park Loop at Ormond Road while construction work for the Greensboro Science Center's new parking lot is under way. "Bicycles are not allowed in Country Park until further notice due to construction associated with the Greensboro Science Center's new parking lot project," the staff member said.
The announcement said portions of the loop at Ormond Road will be used daily for construction activities, requiring those segments to be closed to cyclists for safety. "Now walkers can use the path along the lake during construction, but bikes are not allowed," the staff member added.
Public access to Ormond Road will be closed during construction, the announcement said. The staff member listed alternate parking and access points for visitors while work continues: JC Park, Nathaniel Green Park, and tour Stop Number 4 at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park.
For riders looking for other places to go, the staff member recommended the Piedmont Discovery app to find nearby routes. The statement did not include a date for when bicycle access will resume.
The announcement presented the restriction as a temporary safety measure tied to construction for the Greensboro Science Center parking project; no formal permit, timeline or reopening schedule was provided in the remarks.
