Pump Track Project

Project GOAL: The goal of the Ayr Pump Track Committee is to have a permanent, free to use, multi-use, asphalt pump track constructed in a central location within the town of Ayr.

From mountain bikes to BMX’s, skateboards and even wheelchairs, a pump track is a playground for all wheels. By combining rolling jumps with turns they are accessible for all. When ridden correctly, using a pumping motion with your arms and legs, you can gain speed without the need to pedal or push. Why do we need a Pump Track?

Location Chosen

Image
We now have a location! It took some convincing on my side but The Township has settled on Jim Schmidt Memorial Park. This is the location that our committee has been advocating for since day 1. This location is central to the most populated areas of Ayr and will maximize the utilization of the facility once completed. Schmidt Park is located at 53 Hilltop Drive Ayr and is directly beside Cedar Creek Public school and neighbours the Ayr Fire Hall. The park has a covered pavilion with washrooms, 2 baseball diamonds, 3 tennis courts, open green space, a walking path with shade structures and a new playground. The Pump Track will be a fantastic addition!
