Cool, cooler, pump track!

Sweaty! This summer is about to break all possible heat records. In addition, the holidays had just started, and children want to be entertained – and so do we. Why not go to a pump track instead of going back to the local swimming pool? Let’s get there before the heat gets to our heads. In this blog post, you will learn about the 5 best pump tracks for days as hot as the current one.

Heat build-up? That’s why pump tracks are the solution

Green spaces: the key to sustainable leisure time fun

Nature is close to our hearts. That’s why we always try to preserve the trees on site when building new pump tracks. Why? Because, the larger they are, the more shade they provide. We are also planting grass around the pump track, which makes it more pleasant to watch the riders or take a break. We believe a pump track should include the natural world around it. Lots of green space is key.

A welcome alternative for days at the outdoor pool

The hotter the days, the greater the desire for cool water. But seriously: Every day at the swimming pool or at the quarry pond is boring at some point. Pump tracks are the ideal alternative for variety in the holiday program.

Away from the heat islands, onto the pump track

When city life becomes a challenge, especially during summer heat waves like the one we are currently experiencing, the downside of city life becomes apparent. So-called heat islands occur in densely built-up areas. It has been scientifically proven that the air and ground temperatures there are significantly higher than in the surrounding area. Therefore, urban areas need parks and green areas to provide welcome cooling for the citizens and tourists. Having a pump track built in an urban park is yet another benefit to attract users and invite them to stay in the shade while having fun.

Sustainable leisure activities

In times of climate change, creative solutions are required. This affects all areas of life – including tourism and the leisure industry. Green pump tracks are an option for active movement in the fresh air not only in summer but also in spring, autumn, and the milder winters.
