Inga skyltar eller till synes utmärkta slingor, svårt att veta var man kommer om man tar in på en liten väg. Mycket hög vass runt omkring mm. Dock flaggor för mtb-cyklister! Kändes lite ”öde”.
Hej, vad kul att du hittat till Skärgårdsparken! Vi håller med om att det finns mycket potential och arbetet pågår för fullt med att utveckla området. Bland annat är vi i gång med att ta fram vägvisning till området, entréområdesskyltar, skyltning för stigsystem och ny skyltning av MTB-banan. Tillgänglighetsanpassning, fler grillplatser och väderskydd samt en entré med ett Naturens hus är också några av satsningarna. Varmt välkommen tillbaka till Skärgårdsparken!
