Description
Goldwell Park Pump Track in Newbury, Berkshire, is a single asphalt pump track loop of rollers and berms for BMX and mountain bikes, built by Four One Four Skateparks for West Berkshire Council with advice from the local United Wheels Foundation BMX group. It replaced an older dirt track and is free to ride.
The Track
The track is a continuous loop where riders build speed by pumping their weight through the rollers and berms rather than pedalling. The asphalt surface is built to withstand all weather and suits BMX and mountain bikes, so it works for skills practice, family rides or a quick spin close to the town centre.
The Park
The track sits in the lower part of Goldwell Park, next to a children's play area, and the open park above it has benches and views across Newbury. It was developed with the United Wheels Foundation, the local BMX group, and replaced a dirt track that was about 20 years old.
Getting Here
Goldwell Park is off Old Bath Road and Northcroft Lane in Newbury, RG14 1RR. A public footpath and cycle path runs beside the park between Northcroft Lane and Speen Lane, so it is an easy ride or walk from the town centre.
