Community chooses BMX pump track

Hawkesbury residents have had their say and have voted for a BMX Pump Track to be built at Colonial Reserve in Bligh Park.

Council received more than 900 survey submissions from the Hawkesbury community for the recent Skate Park/BMX Pump Track consultation.

Community members were invited to have their say on whether they would prefer a new skate park or BMX pump track, and whether they wanted it built in Bligh Park or South Windsor. 60 per cent of residents opted for the chosen activity and location.

The project has been developed to improve the options and variety of recreational facilities in the Hawkesbury. Council will now commence preparing a pump track design and will consult further with our wider community and local residents on options for the site.

The Mayor of Hawkesbury, Councillor Patrick Conolly said he was excited by the level of community participation in the consultation.

“To have over 900 submissions from residents of Bligh Park and South Windsor shows just how much the community wants better spaces for our kids to safely ride their bikes, scooters and skateboards.”
