About the Project

We've teamed up with Santa Cruz County Parks to design a new pump track for Felton's Covered Bridge County Park, located at the intersection of Graham Hill Road and Mount Hermon Road. The proposed track would take the place of an unused volleyball court in Covered Bridge County Park. It would bring new outdoor recreation opportunities to the area, and be the only resource of its kind in the San Lorenzo Valley.

Key Stats

  • Construction starts as soon as the fundraising goal is met!

  • $550K covers the cost of design and construction

  • 10K sq ft graded footprint, with 5K sq ft of asphalt surface

  • Paved surface suitable for bikes, skateboards, scooters, rollerskates/blades

  • Similar in size to Harvey West Pump Track in the City of Santa Cruz

  • Expected opening = ~12 weeks after groundbreaking

What is a pump track?

A pump track is a series of rollers, jumps, and banked turns that connect in a closed loop. They’re popular across all age groups, and over 100,000 trips are made to existing pump tracks in the City of Santa Cruz each year.
