Councillors have visited Peacehaven’s new pump track to see how the facility is providing more opportunities for local people to be active and have fun outdoors.
The pump track at Centenary Park was completed this summer, with funding by Lewes District Council, and is owned and managed by Peacehaven Town Council. Designed and built by On Track, it is suitable for BMX riders, scooter users and skateboarders of all abilities.
The design was informed by local people following a community engagement event at The Joff Youth Hub in January, where residents and park users were invited to have their say on the proposals.
Councillor Johnny Denis, Cabinet Member for Arts and Culture, Tourism and Leisure, said: “It is fantastic to see this new facility bringing so much enjoyment to local people. The pump track gives children, young people and families another great reason to get outdoors, be active, build confidence and learn new skills.
“Importantly, residents helped shape the track through the consultation at The Joff, so this is a facility that reflects what the community told us it wanted.”
On Track has also donated two bikes to The Joff Youth Hub, helping more young people to take advantage of the new facility.
Councillor Denis added: “I’d like to thank On Track for generously donating two bikes to The Joff Youth Hub. It’s a brilliant addition to the project and will help make the pump track accessible to even more young people in the community.”
Following the hot and dry summer, areas around the track have been reseeded this autumn to improve the grass cover around the new facility.
