Kin Park Upgrades

Pump Track Design Survey

Help us design the new pump track in Kin Park by completing a short 5-minute survey: https://canadianrampcompany.ca/asphalt-pump-track/fort-st-john-pump-track/

Pump tracks consist of a looped track with hills, bumps, and banked turns, ideal for various wheeled sports, such as bikes, scooters, skateboards, and wheelchairs. The idea is for riders to use their body movements (pumping) to gain momentum and navigate the track without pedalling or pushing off the ground.
