Description
South Shields Pump Track is a new asphalt pump track facility being developed in West Park, South Shields, on the site of four former tennis courts. Backed by South Tyneside Council and built by UK trail specialists On Track, the project is designed as a free-to-use riding space for bikes, scooters, skateboards and skates, with a flowing tarmac layout aimed at riders of all ages and abilities.

The main attraction is a large asphalt pump track featuring multiple rollers, berms and linked sections designed for pumping and carrying speed without pedalling. Early construction previews show a long, flowing layout with several direction changes, extended straights and a mix of tighter and wider berms. Alongside the main loop, the facility also includes a rumble area and a dedicated toddler zone to help younger riders develop balance and bike-handling skills in a separate space.
The project was approved in 2025 following community feedback requesting more outdoor recreation opportunities in the borough. Construction officially began in March 2026, with the ยฃ175,000 development expected to become a major new riding and community hub within West Park.
