Suffolk Park Pump Track – Linda Vidler Park, Suffolk Park. 

Last but not least is the cheapest day out of them all. The ‘Pump Track’ in Suffolk Park.

What is a pump track you ask?

A pump track is an asphalt circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed for bicycles, scooters, skateboards and even wheelchairs. Instead of pedalling, riders generate momentum by up and down body movements or ‘pumping’.

The pump track is suitable for all ages and skill levels and you simply just turn up. With your own bike, scooter or board ofcourse and don’t forget to wear pads and helmets. It’s a must!
