Description
Newbridge Pump Track is a compact concrete pump track in the council's Riverside Walk park beneath Trecelyn Viaduct in Newbridge, Caerphilly. It is built from precast concrete by On Track, with a tight circular berm leading into a run of rollers, and it is free to ride.
The Track
The track uses On Track's precast concrete system, so the surface is smooth and the line is continuous. A tight circular berm feeds into a sequence of rollers in a compact looping layout, which suits riders learning to pump as well as those who want fast laps.
- Precast concrete construction
- Curved berms and progressive rollers
- Compact looping layout

The Park
The track is part of the Riverside Walk park that Caerphilly County Borough Council created under Trecelyn Viaduct as part of the Newbridge regeneration programme. The same park has an outdoor gym, seating and a riverside footpath into the town centre.
