Philly Pumptrack — Attraction in Philadelphia

My favorite place in Philly! I grew up riding BMX but in the last ten ater years I've slowed down riding bmx bikes. Thanks to the pump track I've been reborn! It feels great to get out there and do some laps. I'm slowly learning the flow of the track and I'm actually able to get a little air off a couple of the jumps. At 39 years old that's a great feeling. I looked forward to taking the trip up from Wilmington as much as I can. It's so worth it! *Also please try to volunteer and help work on the track. They can always use volunteers and on wednesdays after 6 they do a dig night. If you use the track, you should help work on it. It's a DIY project and it's the only way to keep it going and have everyone enjoy it for...

Seemingly never open so unless you're a local, it's almost impossible to ride this awesome looking park. Certainly can't go early in the morning bc the earliest it opens is noon. Last 2x's I went it was closed. Most recently, it was supposed to open at noon; I waited until 12:30 and then left, later I saw on Facebook that they opened at 1:00 p.m. So frustrating. I understand it's volunteer run but I'd rather they ditch the fence and loaner bikes and just let people ride when they get there. Great for the immediate community but not really for the greater Philly area since it's mostly closed. Wish there were more pump tracks...

I love this place. A lot of fun and a great opportunity for kids to learn the basics. I’ve been riding freestyle bmx and racing for 20+ years and it’s great seeing more kids get into the sport. The new jump line is a lot of fun too, fingers crossed that we get some doubles set up in the future :)

P.S. make sure you make a donation each time you go,...
