Description
Bexley Pump Track is an asphalt pump track about 162 metres long in Martens Grove Park, Bexleyheath, in south east London. Velosolutions UK built it for the London Borough of Bexley with Access Sport, with a BMX training area and a learn-to-ride zone alongside.
The Track
The main loop is a flowing circuit of rollers and berms on asphalt, laid out so riders can build speed by pumping rather than pedalling. Bikes, BMX, scooters and skateboards all use it, and it suits everyone from younger beginners to experienced BMX and mountain bike riders. It sits in the footprint of a former ball court and MUGA, within a wider all-wheeled sports space.
Other Riding Areas
Beside the main loop there is a BMX training area with practice jumps, a berm and a portable start gate for race-start practice, plus a separate learn-to-ride zone for newer riders.
Sessions
Access Sport runs coached BMX sessions here with Bexley Bike Club, a volunteer-led community club. Sessions are mostly on Saturday mornings through the warmer months, with bikes and safety kit provided, and Access Sport also runs beginner, girls' and additional-needs sessions at the track in school holidays. The track is open to ride outside these sessions, but dates change, so check the club's Facebook page before you set off.
Getting Here
Martens Grove Park is off Martens Avenue in Bexleyheath, DA7 6BD. The pump track is in the middle of the park, so allow a short walk in from the road.
