Pump Park

Randwick City Council is building a new pump park to provide a dedicated space for BMX riding, mountain biking, skateboarding, and scootering.

A pump track is a circuit of mounds and banked turns where riders use a pumping motion, not pedalling, to maintain speed - improving balance and coordination. It’s a fun, inclusive space for all skill levels.

As adventure sports grow in popularity, this project - part of our Open Space and Recreation Strategy - will create a purpose-built facility to support outdoor recreation while enhancing community spaces.

We are seeking feedback on two possible locations in Malabar:

• Cromwell Park North
• Pioneers Park North

Background

After reviewing several potential sites across the Randwick LGA, Council initially endorsed Cromwell Park North due to its size and parking availability. However, early community feedback raised concerns about potential traffic congestion, safety, and amenities.

In response, residents suggested also considering Pioneers Park (north of the AFL fields).

Council initially ruled out Pioneers Park because it is a designated dog off-leash area. If Pioneers Park is selected, the off-leash area would be relocated.

Tell us what you think

• We are seeking community feedback on whether the pump park should be built at Cromwell Park North or Pioneers Park.
• We also want your input on the existing off-leash dog area at Pioneers Park, which would need to be relocated if this site is chosen.

Or you can send your comments with the subject “Pump Park” to council@randwick.nsw.gov.au or to 30 Frances Street, Randwick 2031.

Feedback open: 9 April to 7 May 2025.
