Description

Burnwood Pump Track is a 120 metre pump track on the grounds of Burnwood Primary Academy, off Chell Heath Road in Chell Heath, Stoke-on-Trent (ST6 7LP). Built by Clark and Kent Contractors, it links asphalt berms with hard-packed straights and a start hill, and its builder describes it as the first purpose-built pump track at any school in the UK.

The Track

The loop runs for about 120 metres and is around two to three metres wide, with asphalt berms at the turns, hard-packed rollers on the straights, a start hill and a return path. Clark and Kent Contractors built it on a stone sub-base in about two weeks, and describe it as suitable for riders of all ages and abilities, from balance bikes and scooters to confident BMX riders.

  • Length: about 120 metres, two to three metres wide
  • Surface: asphalt berms and hard-packed straights on a stone sub-base
  • Features: start hill, rollers, berms and a return path

Other Riding Here

Beside the pump track, Clark and Kent describe a long, compacted gravel oval with berms for bikes, with a hard-surfaced play area marked out with road markings inside it.

Access and Facilities

The track is on school grounds. Clark and Kent say it is open to the public and has no official opening hours, but as a school site it is best to ride outside school hours and to take care around drop-off and pick-up times and the neighbouring houses. If you are unsure, contact the school office first. The nearest public parking is on Chell Heath Road. No toilets, lighting or drinking water are listed.

Clark and Kent Contractors built other tracks within a short drive, including Kidsgrove Pump Track, Forsbrook Pump Track and Audley BMX Track.

Getting Here

Head for Burnwood Primary Academy on Chell Heath Road (ST6 7LP). The pump track is in the school grounds, behind the main buildings and next to the oval, so approach from the school side rather than the housing streets. Park on Chell Heath Road and walk in.
