Description
Redditch Pump Track is a free asphalt pump track in Arrow Valley Country Park, off Icknield Street Drive in Redditch. Built by Clark and Kent Contractors for Redditch Borough Council, it is a single loop of rollers and berms for bikes, BMX, scooters and skateboards, sitting between the town's BMX track and its skatepark.
The Track
The loop is smooth black asphalt with a run of rollers, berms and rhythm sections that you ride by pumping rather than pedalling once you have some speed. Orange edging picks out the berms, arrows on the surface show the direction of travel, and the spacing suits riders learning to pump and corner while still giving experienced riders enough flow to keep lapping. It is open to all ages and abilities, and you need to bring your own bike, board or scooter.

- Designed for all ages and abilities
Access
The track is council-owned, free to use and open to the public around the clock, except during events, which the council advertises at the park in advance. As on any pump track, wear a helmet, check your brakes, tyres and chain before you ride, and give other riders space. Please follow the signs on site.
Also in the Park
The track sits directly between the BMX track run by Redditch Premiers BMX Club and Redditch Outdoor Skatepark, so you can mix pump track laps with a BMX or skatepark session. The skatepark is a large, supervised outdoor park run by the charity Redditch Wheels Project, which offers sessions for BMX, skateboards, inline skates and scooters. The rest of Arrow Valley Country Park has paths and green space.
Getting Here
Follow signs to Arrow Valley Country Park and turn in off Icknield Street Drive. There is a car park beside the track, with a 2.1m height restriction at the entrance, so vans and tall vehicles need to park elsewhere.
