An ADA-compliant pump track is a wheeled recreation path designed with gentle slopes, smooth surfaces (asphalt/concrete), and inclusive features, allowing use by bikes, scooters, skateboards, and even wheelchairs, often featuring separate beginner zones or connecting to accessible paths for full park access, making recreation possible for all ages and abilities, not just advanced riders.

🌀 What a Pump Track Is
A pump track is a continuous looping circuit made of rollers, banked turns (berms), and smooth transitions that riders move through without pedaling or pushing. Instead, you generate speed by “pumping”—using your body to push down on the backsides of rollers and unweight over the fronts.
