Description
Bedgrove Park BMX Pump Track is a free, community-built asphalt pump track in the northern part of Bedgrove Park, Aylesbury. The loop is about 40 metres long and made up of undulating humps, and it is open to BMX and mountain bikes, balance bikes, scooters, skateboards and roller skates, for riders of all ages and abilities.
The Track
The track is a looped asphalt circuit of undulating humps, set on open parkland near the park's multi-use games area. The Bedgrove Residents' and Community Association, a local charity, provided it, and Clark and Kent Contractors were appointed to build it. The association describes it as a space that works for beginners and experienced riders alike.
It is free to use, with no booking or sessions. Buckinghamshire Council looks after the park, and the track was paid for by more than £117,000 of local fundraising, with grants from sponsors including the Aylesbury Community Board, William Harding's Charity and the Heart of Bucks Young Futures Fund. Expect scooters and skateboards to share the track with bikes.
Also in the Park
Bedgrove Park has plenty to keep the rest of a group busy, according to Buckinghamshire Council:
- A large fenced play area for ages 2 to 12, plus teenage equipment
- A multi-use games area for football and basketball, two tennis courts and a netball court
- Adult grass football pitches
- A community centre, and public and disabled toilets
Getting Here
The track is in Bedgrove Park, off Ambleside, Aylesbury HP21 9TT. The park has a car park with disabled bays next to the community centre, linked to the facilities by hard-surfaced paths.
