Carlisle Pumptrack

What is a pumptrack?

In short, it is a self-contained bicycle circuit composed of banked turns and undulating mounds of dirt for riders of all skill levels to develop better bike handling skills and cardiovascular fitness, all while having a ton of fun!

Where is the Carlisle Pumptrack located?

The track is in the Borough of Carlisle’s Valley Meadows Park located at 203 Meadows Blvd, Carlisle, PA.

Who is involved in this project?

Cumberland Youth Cycling Development (CYCD), our nonprofit 501c3 corporation, is partnering with the Borough of Carlisle, Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation, the Partnership for Better Health and other businesses and individuals in the community to make our dream of a regionally significant facility available to the Carlisle community and beyond. CYCD will build and maintain the track.

What is the status of the project?

The main body of pumptrack is complete! Dirtsculpt LLC and Lobar Associates added the final layer of dirt in March, and the track has been open to the public since. We have a few finishing touches to add, including a perimeter fence and kiddie track, which we will work on leading up to our grand opening ceremony on July 13th.
