Aberfoyle Bike Park in Aberfoyle, Stirling, is undergoing a new phase of work, with a pump track, jump line and wider trail revamp now under way on site.

The latest update comes as Bikescape confirms active projects in Aberfoyle and Glenlivet, while previously published funding and development information shows the Aberfoyle work sits within a broader package that includes a new pump track, upgrades to the existing skills area, further trail-network development, increased maintenance, and work to improve trail sustainability.

Bike Trossachs secured support through the Cycling Facilities Fund for the pump track and skills area works at Aberfoyle Bike Park. A Scottish Parliament business bulletin states that £100,000 was awarded towards the pump track project, with a total project value of £204,500, and confirms the work will be delivered at Aberfoyle Bike Park alongside upgrades to an existing skills area. The project has been supported by SportScotland, Stirling Council, Shimano and Tradstocks.

DMBinS is also working with Bike Trossachs to support wider trail-network development, including increased maintenance and improving trail sustainability. Through the Scottish Trail Fund, Bike Trossachs secured £300 for tools and two places on the DIRTT Volunteer Trail Dig Leader course.

Consultation material for the Rabbit Hill refurbishment sets out how Bikescape’s proposed design responds to the existing site. The asphalt pump track is planned as a more linear “out and back” layout, using longer straights to build speed into roller sections that can be pumped, manualled or jumped. The layout includes a start hill into a 180 berm, followed by tighter rhythm sections focused on cornering and speed control, before opening into longer straights where riders can vary lines and speed through each lap.

A separate jump line is proposed alongside the pump track, with slightly steeper features than typical pump track rollers to allow more airtime while maintaining a controlled progression. This line is designed to merge back into the main track, allowing riders to link features or return to the start. Access is planned via an upgraded multi-user path with a crushed rock dust finish leading into the start hill.

On the trails side, the consultation notes that upgrades to existing black-graded trails are expected to complement the new jump line, maintaining higher-level riding options as older lines are replaced or reworked. It also highlights how grading expectations have shifted over time, with some legacy features now aligning more closely with modern black trail standards.

Current builder updates indicate the live works include the pump track and jump line, along with reworking trails around the back of the bike park and building new jump features. Trail status reporting shows the bike park as undergoing a revamp by Bikescape while works are completed. However, full details of the final layout and dimensions have not yet been published, and it is not yet clear whether the new or rebuilt lines will carry formal names or grades, which rear trail sections are being reshaped, or when the updated bike park will reopen.

Bikescape have also been active nearby at Glenlivet, where work is under way on a new blue flow trail.

Aberfoyle Bike Park has long served as a compact riding spot for progression and repeat laps close to the village. This phase combines new facilities with wider trail work and practical investment in maintenance, volunteer support and trail sustainability.
