Surrey Heath Borough Council is asking whether it should build a pump track beside the new skate park at Crabtree Recreation Ground in Camberley, Surrey. Its survey is open until 3 December.

The council says it wants to hear from local residents, young people, families, people who already use the recreation ground and the wider community before it decides whether to take the idea further. The details and the survey are on the council's Camberley pump track consultation page.

The pump track would sit alongside a concrete skate park that the council is creating at the recreation ground. The skate park is already approved. It replaces metal skate ramps and BMX facilities that the council said in 2025 were worn out and no longer cost-effective to repair.

The money is set aside

At its September meeting the council's Executive reserved £300,000 from its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Main Fund for a pump track at Crabtree Recreation Ground, on the condition that a public consultation takes place. CIL money comes from contributions by developers, so the track would not be paid for from the council's day-to-day budgets.

Councillor Morgan Rise, the council's portfolio holder for environment and recreation, said a pump track at the site could be "another exciting addition to our leisure facilities" and that the location is "well-placed to attract a wide reach of users".

What we know about the track

Not much yet. The council describes a pump track as an all-ages facility for cyclists, skateboarders, scooter riders, skaters and wheelchair users. It has not published a design, and the picture it shared with the consultation is marked as for illustrative purposes only.

The survey asks who you think would use a pump track, how often you would ride it, and what benefits or concerns you see. It also asks whether there is a better site for one in the Camberley area. The council says the answers will help shape its decisions on the plan.
