Description
St George's Park Pump Track is a compact asphalt pump track in St George's Park, Kidderminster, Worcestershire. Built by Clark and Kent Contractors for Wyre Forest District Council, it is a looped circuit of rollers and berms around a turfed centre, designed for riders of all ages and abilities and free to use.
The Track
The track is a continuous asphalt loop, with a painted arrow showing the direction of travel and a turfed centre. It takes a series of smooth rollers along its straights and berms at each end, which makes it a good place to learn to keep momentum and to link laps without pedalling. Clark and Kent Contractors built it on a tight town-centre site, replacing the park's earlier BMX track, and describe it as suiting all ages and abilities.
- Asphalt surface, so it is rideable in most weather and dries quickly after rain
- Rollers and berms linked into one continuous loop
- Free to ride in the public park
Also in the Park
St George's Park has an enclosed children's play area, a multi-activity play area, a basketball court, a tennis court and a picnic area, so the track is easy to combine with a family visit.
Getting Here
St George's Park is in the centre of Kidderminster, with its main entrance on Radford Avenue (postcode DY10 2ES). The pump track is on the north-east side of the park, alongside the road and next to the multi-use court. Kidderminster Town Council's park page does not list toilets or parking, so plan to use town-centre parking and ride in.
