Description

Par Track is a community-run sports site in Par, near St Austell, with a free asphalt pump track built by Flashmans Track n Trail, an 800 metre shale trail loop, a competition-grade running track, a cafe and a library. The pump track has lines for different abilities and a large table jump, with ramps and slopes for tricks beside it.

The Pump Track

  • A sealed asphalt pump track for bikes, BMX, scooters and skateboards, which Par Track also says suits wheelchair users. It is free to use, open all year round and needs no booking. It replaced the old skate park on the site.
  • It has a range of lines for different skill levels, including a large table jump, plus a number of technical ramps and slopes for jumps and tricks.
  • Flashmans Track n Trail designed and built it. Find them on Facebook.

Green Trail

  • A multi-use shale trail that loops 800 metres around the site, free to use all year round. It is suitable for most bikes, so it is an easy way to try off-road riding with family and friends.
  • It has some optional berms and a raised bridge section, with a flat alternative always available. It is shared with walkers and runners, so ride considerately.

Beyond the Trails

  • Par Track is a Charitable Community Benefit Society that took over the site in 2018 and holds a long lease from Cornwall Council. Its website has opening hours, events and everything below.
  • A cafe, open every day, and a micro library in the clubhouse, which also has a community gym, changing rooms and showers.
  • A competition-grade running track, one of only two in Cornwall, used by local athletics and running clubs and for county events. Runners book a slot with a Track Pass membership.
  • Football and rugby pitches, a children's wooden play park and holiday clubs for children.

Local Organisations

  • The Cornwall Bicycle Project: a community cycling CIC that runs cycling sessions from the track throughout the year, including adapted cycling. Contact them for dates.
