Raleigh’s newest recreational feature at Forest Ridge Park is a modular pumptrack.
This modular, above-ground riding course brings high-energy fun and skill-building opportunities to adventure seekers of all levels. This pump track can be relocated as needed, making it a flexible addition to Raleigh Parks’ outdoor offerings. With its smooth rollers and banked turns, riders use body movements, or “pumping,” instead of pedaling to gain momentum, which helps develop balance, coordination, and bike-handling skills in a safe and accessible environment.
Having a mobile pumptrack at Forest Ridge Park is an exciting milestone for Raleigh. It’s not only a cool, modern amenity that appeals to youth and families, but also reflects the city’s commitment to offering innovative ways to get outside and get active. Because it’s mobile, the track can eventually rotate to other parks, expanding access to this unique experience across the community. Whether you’re a beginner learning the ropes or a seasoned rider looking to hone your skills, this pump track is a fun, low-barrier way to enjoy the outdoors on two wheels.
