Pump track Vrhnika

Project Details

  • Year: 2021
  • Area: 700 m²
  • Paved Area: 350 m²

Vrhinika pump track is located on the site of the former railway station just opposite the former Mavrica store. It covers around 700 m2 and has been built next to an outdoor fitness which gives the area even more opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities. Because of its popularity, we have built a kids’ pump track right next to the bigger one.

In order to attract visitors, the sports & play infrastructure must be attractive and consequently in line with current trends. Secondly, it should target a wider spectrum of users when possible. Single-user group facilities are at risk when the interest of this group loses interest, not to mention higher costs and the need for space when placing multiple objects.

Asphalt pump tracks, a global trend among the sports infrastructure, can satisfy these criteria plus several others. Addressing more than 15 sports and 3 Olympic disciplines, the pump track as a single object represents a multi-purpose sports facility. It can be used by almost any bike, striders, rollerblades, scooters, skateboards, and other sports equipment on wheels, including wheelchairs. As such it is a truly unique environment for anyone between the age of 2 and 70, bringing together families and the whole community.
