West Kempsey Pump Track

Residents of all ages joined the West Kempsey Pump Track Committee to officially launch the popular Pump Track on the 4th December 2021.

Some riders propelled themselves through the air while others pedal their way around, experiencing the thrill of the track their way. Professional riders Zoe Cuthbert and Ryan Gilchrist arrived to show the crowd their world class style and praised the fantastic track we have.

A bike mechanic set up a stall for the afternoon completing repairs on 13 bikes, giving away 7 bikes and providing information on how bike riders can share the roads safely. Attendees were provided with a free BBQ lunch and entertainment by DJ Mark Purcell.

Echo Voice and Data, and Community Housing Ltd, were the first to offer their sponsorship and make an investment in this valuable community resource.

Tara Howard, Gold sponsor Echo Voice and Data, said, “As a locally owned business with a team comprised of local staff, it’s very important to me that we give back to our community and support growth in the Macleay wherever we can. “When I saw this opportunity come up to be part of a community project, particularly one aimed at our youth, I couldn’t miss the chance to be a part of it.”

Steven Neale, Silver sponsor Community Housing Kempsey, said, “We are proud to sponsor the West Kempsey Pump Bike Track because this facility will provide a space for fun, healthy and safe activities for young people, families and everyone in the community".
