The contracted works for the Adventure Parc pump track included:

• Site clearance
• Measuring and marking out
• Importation of material
• Shaping and compaction of material and sub-base
• Drainage works
• Tarmac surfacing
• Line marking
• Turfing scheme

Adventure Parc Snowdonia is the only inland surf lagoon in the UK, making it Wales' premier adventure tourist destination. It boasts a two-metre high wave that can last 16 seconds and travel 150 metres in one surf! Adventure Park Snowdonia claims this is the longest artificial surf wave in the world. Now, with the addition of the three Clark and Kent Contractors' facilities, it has the makings of an exhilarating, fun-packed experience for all ages.

In the iconic setting in the foothills of Snowdon, Clark & Kent relished the opportunity to create another example of their BMX track construction even though weather conditions were difficult. The Adventure Parc pump track will not only be an asset to the park but also to the broader community. "In the first week, the centre received up to 1,000 visitors a day. Before winter closure in 2015, the facility was booked at an average of 97% occupancy in its first season.
