Description
Audley BMX Track is an asphalt pump track at the Queen Street play area in Audley, Staffordshire, run by Audley Rural Parish Council. Clark and Kent Contractors rebuilt it to replace an earlier track that became unsafe, and it now runs as one flowing loop of rollers and berms that suits BMX riders and a wide range of ages and abilities.
The Track
The track is a looped asphalt circuit with rollers and berms, including a bowl-style banked end, and painted arrows showing the direction of travel. It is an all-weather surface, so it dries quickly and rides well after rain. Clark and Kent Contractors built it for the parish council, and they describe it as suiting all BMX ability levels and a wide range of ages, so it works for first laps as well as faster, harder-pumped runs.

Background
The parish council replaced an older limestone track on the same site after it became unsafe, and chose a specialist pump track builder through competitive tender. The new track was built in about two weeks. The council inspects and maintains it as part of its play area.
Also in the Park
The track sits in the council's Queen Street play area, which also has a skate park and an outdoor gym, with open grass around the track for spectators and meet-ups.
