Danes Field Pump Track, Bedfordshire

Danes Field BMX Pump Track

The Danes Field Pump Track is located at Van Dyke Road, Leighton Buzzard, situated within Danes Field, Leighton-Linslade in Central Bedfordshire.

Originally a limestone dust track, Clark & Kent undertook the rebuild and tarmac surfacing on both Danes Field and Van Dyke Road tracks as part of the Leighton Buzzard council's update of their play equipment and outdoor facilities. The track is part of sports and play area enhancements by Leighton-Linslade Town Council. Clark & Kent tendered and won contracts for both pump track sites based on their experience in building this type of BMX track, competitive pricing and proven professionalism.

Since the upgrade, the pump track is now suitable for BMX bikers, skateboarders, scooter riders, rollerbladers, and mountain bikers. The track is approximately two metres wide and features a sequence of jumps and two straights, offering a smooth, safe, and fun circuit for all skill levels.

Danes Field itself is a 3.6-acre park, offering paved paths, green space, and a playground, making it family-friendly for walking, running, and other casual outdoor activities.

Danes Field Pump Track is a well-integrated, multi-use wheeled sports facility within a peaceful public park. Its tarmac surface and thoughtful layout make it ideal for a broad audience--from beginners to experienced riders and from cyclists to scooter users. It's an excellent spot for outdoor fun, exercise, and skill-building in a supportive and safe environment.

Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding area offer a fantastic range of cycling options, from accessible family paths and local group rides to challenging rural loops and mountain biking opportunities. Very popular are the upgraded cyclepaths near Clipstone Park and Meadow Way, and family-friendly rides along the Grand Union Canal, Ouzel Valley, Riverside Walk, and Linslade Woods loop. Whether you're after a relaxed canalside outing, technical trail riding, or community cycling events, there's something for everyone.
