However I have been to the MTB venue west of the city.

That venue is indeed abandoned and a total eyesore. It is a shame it has not been kept up.

I haven’t since then so I don’t know in what state they are in at present, but in ’09 when I was there, I left thinking, it’s such a shame they haven’t maintained these two landmarks very well. Because you could see trash inside the stadium, people playing badminton on the grass (and ruining it), some malfunctioning toilets, toilet paper holders falling apart … and the list goes on.
