In 2021, the commune of Pompignac, located in the Gironde department of France, inaugurated a pumptrack facility to enhance local recreational infrastructure and provide residents with a dedicated space for various wheeled sports.
The pumptrack was designed and constructed by WestPump, a company specializing in the development of pumptrack facilities. The track features a series of asphalted bumps and banked turns, forming a closed-loop circuit that allows users to navigate the course by generating momentum through body movements, eliminating the need for pedaling or pushing. This design caters to users of all skill levels, providing a safe and engaging environment for practicing and improving skills in various wheeled sports.
Strategically situated adjacent to the local football stadium and gymnasium, the pumptrack enhances the existing sports infrastructure in Pompignac. The proximity to these facilities encourages cross-disciplinary engagement among athletes and provides a centralized location for community members to participate in diverse physical activities. Additionally, the area offers ample parking, ensuring convenient access for users and spectators alike.
The development of the pumptrack was a significant investment for the commune, with the project costing over €150,000. This substantial financial commitment underscores the local government's dedication to enhancing recreational facilities and promoting active lifestyles among its residents. While specific details regarding external funding or grants are not provided, the allocation of such a budget reflects a strategic prioritization of community health and well-being.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
