Description
Twechar Pump Track is a 240m asphalt pump track next to the Twechar Healthy Living and Enterprise Centre in East Dunbartonshire, opened in September 2026. Built by Velosolutions UK, the project was driven by the local community with support from East Dunbartonshire Council. It's split into a main pump track, a beginner track and an advanced jump line with multiple transfer options, so there's genuinely something for every level, from first-timers on balance bikes to experienced BMX and mountain bike riders.
The Trails
- Main pump track (118m): an asphalt circuit of rollers, berms and jumps, ridden by pumping rather than pedalling. Suitable for BMX bikes, mountain bikes, scooters and skateboards.
- Beginner track (42m): a dedicated, lower-intensity line so younger or less experienced riders can build confidence before tackling the main track.
- Advanced jump line (80m): a separate line of bigger jumps with multiple transfer options, for experienced riders after more air time.
- Lap timing: the free Vorld timing system is installed at the track, so you can time your runs.
Beyond the Trails
The track sits right next to the Twechar Healthy Living and Enterprise Centre, home to a cafe (the Tea Room, open seven days a week for soups, home baking and hot food), a pharmacy and a GP surgery. The newly built Twechar Outdoor Pursuits Centre is a short walk away on the Forth and Clyde Canal, offering canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding and a bike workshop, so there's plenty to fill a full day out beyond the track itself.
