Whitney Community Park Pump Track

Council approved measures to proceed with the development of the Whitney Community Park Pump track.

A contract for the Pump Track development has been awarded to American Ramp Company, while the construction of the parking lot extension will be decided at a later date concerning a different contractor.

The top priorities for the design and installation include a bicycle pump track, a rubberized surface surrounding the track, and a parking lot extension to increase on-site parking.

Construction is expected to begin late 2024/early 2025.
