Palmer Park Stadium, Sports stadium in Reading, England
Palmer Park Stadium features an outdoor velodrome with a 459-meter track and an athletics stadium, offering facilities for multiple sporting activities.
The stadium commenced operations on April 23, 1988, while its velodrome dates back to the early 1900s, making it one of England's oldest cycling tracks.
The stadium hosts the Palmer Park Velo cycling club, which trains young riders between ages 4 and 18 in track cycling disciplines.
The facility provides 131 parking spaces, including 7 designated for disabled visitors, with the first three hours of parking at no cost.
Until 1955, the velodrome track contained loose red shale, causing riders to slide sideways when navigating the banked turns.
