"It's great to see the first set of paths completed at Helix South. They bring people from neighbouring communities such as Grangemouth and Laurieston right into the new greenspace." Councillor Adrian Mahoney
 

Helix South

Come and make the most of the new network of paths around Helix South.

The paths provide vital connections between Grangemouth, Beancross, Polmont, Lower Braes, Laurieston and Westquarter. They also improve links to the Falkirk Stadium and will link to Central Park and the redeveloped Canal Hub as these new aspects of the Helix develop.

Lots of thought has gone into the design of our paths so they work for as many different people as possible, from keen walkers and cyclists to families with buggies and those with mobility difficulties. Lighting has been installed on all of the key paths. Safe crossings are provided by existing underpasses. 

Go outdoors

Enjoy walking, running and cycling on these superb new pathways around Falkirk and Grangemouth in central Scotland. Lighting, signage and good surfaces are already making these routes a big hit with local people. A number of groups are using the paths already. Get involved with Nordic Walking.

See for yourself

The Helix South paths network was officially opened back in June 2011 and it was quite an event. The sun shone and everyone was there!  View images from the day and see if you can spot anyone you know.
