Exciting news for cycling enthusiasts and outdoor lovers! The brand-new Flagstaff Pumptrack has officially opened in St Helens, located on Tasmania’s stunning East Coast. This state-of-the-art facility offers a dedicated space for BMX riders, scooter enthusiasts, and skateboarders, making it a must-visit destination for active families and thrill-seekers alike.
The Tasmanian Government invested $500,000 into the construction of this fantastic addition to St Helens, as part of their 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future. Announcing the opening, Deputy Premier Guy Barnett, an avid cyclist, emphasized the importance of cycling for both physical and mental health.
“Cycling is not only about fitness but also about mental well-being and connecting with your community,” Barnett said. “This new pumptrack will give newcomers the opportunity to build their cycling skills and confidence in a safe and controlled environment before progressing to more challenging mountain bike trails.”
The Flagstaff Pumptrack, built by world-renowned track construction company World Trail, is designed to cater to a broad range of users. It’s suitable for BMX bikes, scooters, skateboards, and mountain bikes, providing an inclusive space for riders of all ages and skill levels. A pumptrack is a unique type of track that requires no pedaling or pushing; instead, riders use a pumping motion to maintain momentum, making it a fun and challenging experience for everyone.
Conveniently located near St Helens’ popular mountain bike trails, the Flagstaff Pumptrack is a fantastic addition to the area’s growing reputation as a hub for cycling and outdoor recreation. Whether you’re a local or a visitor exploring Tasmania’s East Coast, this new attraction is a great way to spend a day outdoors.
