Description
Kidsgrove Pump Track is a large asphalt pump track at Newchapel Recreation Ground, off Newchapel Road in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire. Built by Clark and Kent Contractors for Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and opened in June 2021, it is free to ride and open to bikes, BMX, scooters, skateboards, inline skates and wheelchairs.
The Track
The track is a flowing asphalt loop set into turf, with elevated starting platforms so riders can drop in from several points on the circuit. It packs in berms, rollers, angled rollers, table tops and doubles, plus a shark fin and a left-handed hip jump, and there are harder lines for confident BMX riders. Directional arrows show which way round to ride. It suits beginners and confident riders alike, and a pump track rewards smooth pumping over pedalling.
