The newly merged Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Department (PPR) has teamed up with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP), Advanced Sports Inc, Neighborhood Bike Works, and the bicycle shops of Philadelphia to launch the Philly Pumptrack project; the city’s first ever, public pumptrack.


Pumptracks are one of the fastest-growing attractions in biking, are small in scale and can be enjoyed by cyclists of all ages and skill levels. A pumptrack is fun and teaches riders essential riding skills while building fitness, all in a low-risk environment. A pumptrack in Philadelphia will provide a place where young and old can ride bikes in safe numbers and in mixed-age groups. The Philadelphia Pumptrack will be a venue where riding and spectating can be a community affair.

The Philly Pumptrack has won a spot at the table for the Community Sourced Fundraising from Philly Stake. Dinner participants will get to vote who among ten community projects gets to receive the money raised from the dinner.
Come out this Sunday for an amazing meal, learn where we are at with the pumptrack and vote for us to receive more funds!

Remember! We only won a chance to present our project. We still need you to come out and vote to have the Pumptrack receive the grant!
