Pumptrack

We are entering the next phase of the realization of the pumptrack. We have selected a pumptrack builder, namely Velosolutions, and can start construction. 

In early November, we will hold an information meeting for local residents. We will discuss the planning and the work. There will also be room for questions. 

That same week, we will talk about the design of the pumptrack with the members of the Youth City Council. Each member may bring 2 guests. Pumptrack builder Velosolutions will then present 3 designs, which the members of the youth council and their guests may vote on. We will implement the design with the most votes. 

We will begin construction the week of Nov. 17, 2025. The plan is to have the pumptrack completed by the end of 2025, weather conditions permitting. 

Youth city council initiative

In 2022, a number of young residents from Son en Breugel came up with the idea for a pumptrack together with the youth city council. 'It brings people together, it's sporty and above all very fun. You can do anything there: scootering, cycling, skateboarding and much more,' say the initiators. The city council supported this initiative and two image-forming sessions were held in early 2023. A consulting firm then investigated several possible locations, after which the city council designated location De Molenwiek for the realization of a pumptrack. To cover the costs, we applied as one of the participating municipalities to the MRE project "Urban Sports in the region" to obtain a subsidy. This grant has been awarded and the next steps have been taken.
