A New Pump Track Rolls into Riverdale Park

NEW TECUMSETH, ON – Riverdale Park is a hub of summer excitement with the arrival of a brand-new pump track, officially opened to the public on July 4. Designed for bikes, scooters, skateboards, and rollerblades, the pump track offers a dynamic and inclusive space for residents of all ages and skill levels to get active and connect with their community.

Strategically located for high visibility and safety, Riverdale Park provides an ideal setting with convenient parking, nearby schools, washroom facilities, and shaded areas—making it a perfect destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
