Cannington Pump Track

Clark and Kent Contractors recently completed a premier pump track in Cannington, Somerset, a project that has become a centrepiece of local recreation and a significant asset to the community.

Known for their expertise in building world-class action sports facilities, Clark and Kent designed this new pump track with a focus on versatility, accessibility, and engagement for riders of all skill levels. From the outset, the goal was to create a track that balanced technical elements for experienced riders with accessibility for beginners, fostering a welcoming environment for all who visit.

Situated in a vibrant community space, the Cannington pump track blends seamlessly with its surroundings, offering an aesthetically pleasing yet high-performance facility. Clark and Kent meticulously designed the layout to provide an engaging flow, incorporating strategically placed rollers, berms, and jumps that allow riders to navigate the track without pedalling.

This "pump" style movement, which relies on body dynamics rather than pedal power, not only builds rider confidence but also enhances skills that transfer to other biking disciplines. The track's design prioritises rider flow and momentum, ensuring that each lap is as thrilling as it is fluid.

Clark and Kent's attention to detail extended beyond track design, as they also incorporated eco-friendly building practices. By using locally sourced materials, they minimised the construction phase's carbon footprint.

Additionally, the track surface was crafted with a high-durability finish to ensure longevity and minimal maintenance. This choice makes it an asset not only to the riders but also to the community stakeholders, who benefit from a sustainable and low-maintenance facility.

The project quickly gained the enthusiastic support of residents, riders, and community leaders, who see the pump track as a safe, inclusive, and family-friendly space. The track offers an exciting new venue for community events and bike clinics and is expected to boost local tourism, drawing riders from nearby areas to experience Cannington's unique facility.

Clark and Kent's expertise in developing community-focused projects means this pump track serves not only as a recreational asset but also as a social and economic catalyst for the area.

Since its opening, the Cannington pump track has attracted significant foot traffic, with both novice and seasoned riders taking to it daily. User feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting the build quality, the track's smooth layout, and the exhilarating riding experience.

This project stands as a testament to Clark and Kent's commitment to building more than just sports facilities; they create spaces where communities come together, and riders find joy and challenge in equal measure.

With the Cannington pump track, Clark and Kent have once again demonstrated their capacity to deliver projects that exceed expectations and resonate deeply with the communities they serve. The track promises to be a hub of activity, skill development, and community pride for years to come.
