Islamabad’s Biggest Park Finally Gets a Cycling Track

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has developed a cycling track at Islamabad’s Fatima Jinnah Park in Sector F-9 to promote healthy activity and cater to the increasing number of cyclists in the federal capital.

According to a CDA official, the cycling track has been developed following a request from the Islamabad Cycling Association (ICA).

He said that the civic agency accepted the proposal immediately and began working on this project in collaboration with private-sector experts.

Chairman CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, Muhammad Usman Younis, also shared a video on Twitter, showing his cycling skills on the newly developed track. He also asked other cycling enthusiasts to visit the “first Pump Track in F-9 Park.”

For the adventurous cycling enthusiasts out there!

Despite bicycle lanes being part of Islamabad’s 50-year-old Master Plan, they’ve only recently been implemented in the federal capital. Apart from the F-9 Park, others are located on Constitution Avenue, Gomal Road, Faisal Avenue, F-8 Park, and Kachnar Park.

Green Force, an organization of environmentalists, has also been actively pushing for years to make Islamabad a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city.
