Introduction

Welcome to Landport Pump Track, the latest wheeled sports facility designed, built, and delivered by Clark & Kent Contractors. Nestled within the Landport area, this pump track combines high quality design and construction with community engagement to offer a new hub for riders, families, and outdoor activity for all.

Key Features

Multi Level Design: Suitable for beginners through to more experienced riders. The layout includes gentle rollers, flowing berms, rhythm sections, and technical features, so users can develop skills progressively.

Durable Surfacing & Materials: Built using long lasting surfacing materials with proper drainage, resistant to weather and wear. All features constructed to meet or exceed safety standards.

Inclusive & Accessible: Paths connecting to Landport public walkways, accessible surfaces for scooters, bikes, skateboards, and provisions for spectators. Designed with safety in mind (visibility, signage, edges).

Supporting Amenities: The project includes landscaping, fencing, lighting (where applicable), safety signage, seating, and bike parking to enhance the user experience.

Clark & Kent Contractors' Role & Process

Consultation & Planning

Clark & Kent worked closely with Landport local authorities, community groups, and intended users of the pump track to gather feedback and understand what features mattered most.

Design & Engineering

Using in house design specialists, the track was modelled with attention to flow, safety, and usability. Terrain, site topography, drainage, and materials all considered to ensure longevity and performance.

Construction

The construction phase included site prep, earthworks, surfacing, safety finishing, landscaping and installation of supporting infrastructure (fencing, seating, signage). Regular inspections and quality control were built in.

Handover & Launch

Once complete, the facility was inspected, safety certified, and officially opened to the public, with supporting information provided for use and maintenance.

Benefits to the Community

Health & Well Being: Provides a space for physical activity--cycling, scooting, skateboarding--that supports fitness and mental well being, especially for youth.

Community Engagement: A focal point for meetings, informal sport, events. Strengthens community ties and offers a positive space for people to gather outdoors.

Youth Development: Helps riders of all ages develop skills, confidence, and perhaps interest in competitive wheeled sports.

Local Amenity Enhancement: Adds value to Landport's public spaces, improving local infrastructure, connectivity, and sense of place.
