Entering back into the park, turning right and retracing the earlier course past palace of art to the sports centre. Turning left by the pitch and put, along the slight incline, taking the second right to follow a path straight down to Mosspark Blvd, then following the path outside the park for 500m, before returning into the park, looping anti-clockwise around the pitch and put, finishing back on the cycle track with a half lap.
