From Igualada to Martorell: Our Growing Presence in Spain
Igualada’s Parc Central is one of Catalonia’s most ambitious urban leisure projects. The pump track built there became so popular it required a second, dedicated children’s track — proof that great infrastructure creates its own demand.
Igualada: a landmark project for Catalonia
The Parc Central of Igualada is the city’s defining outdoor space — 80,000 m² of green, active public land serving residents of every age. Its expansion added a bio lake, one of Spain’s largest skateparks, children’s play zones, and a pump track at its heart.
What makes Igualada exceptional is the philosophy behind it. The city set out not just to build a park, but to create an outdoor classroom for sustainability, climate awareness, and active living. Over 1,400 children and young people participated in shaping the design through the city’s Children’s Council (Consell dels Infants) — a participatory process that earned recognition from the European Commission under the URBACT programme as one of Europe’s best practices in civic design.
The pump track — 1,000 m² in total, with 330 m² of paved asphalt riding surface — sits naturally within the park’s broader landscape, integrated rather than simply installed. Its all-weather asphalt surface keeps it active every day of the year, serving riders from toddlers on balance bikes to cyclists training for competition.
Success that creates its own demand
The most telling sign of a well-designed public space is what happens next. At Igualada, the pump track proved so popular with families that the city commissioned a second, dedicated track for children aged 3–6 alongside the original circuit. The main track became reserved for riders aged 6 and above — giving each group a space calibrated to their level, so beginners and experienced riders never get in each other’s way.
The circuit has also become a competition venue, hosting sanctioned regional events of the Catalan Cycling Federation and drawing competitors across all age categories. A community asset had grown into a regional destination.
International recognition
The Parc Central project has attracted significant international recognition across architecture, landscape design, and urban policy. These awards reflect what the city of Igualada set out to build from the start: not a sports facility, but a model for what urban public space can be.

Our growing presence in Spain
Igualada was our first project in Spain. It was not the last. Each new commission builds on what we learned from the previous one — and reflects growing recognition across the country that pump tracks are among the smartest investments a city can make in its public infrastructure.
In Tolosa (Basque Country), the approach was different: a large-format concrete pump track, sitting directly alongside a concrete skatepark as part of a unified urban sports facility. The team handled both the layout design and the earthworks platform — the kind of full-service delivery that means a city has a single, accountable partner from first concept to finished surface.
The numbers behind every project we build
Every pump track we build carries a 7-year structural warranty — the longest offered by any builder in the industry. That is not a marketing claim; it is the natural outcome of more than 350 tracks built across 40+ countries over 15 years, with surface engineering, drainage, and riding geometry refined on every single one. When a city invests in a pump track, it is investing in infrastructure that will serve its community for decades.
Igualada, Tolosa, and Martorell are the start of our Spanish chapter. We are actively expanding here, and we are looking for the next city that shares the same vision: active, sustainable, inclusive public space that works for everyone.
