What the Community is Saying

"Yes, all the other spaces around the south hams that are taking their responsibilities for enhancing the lives of their children are building such sporting facilities, it would be a shame to not give the next generation a place to be proud to say they come from because it cares about their needs"

More Than Just a Track

Creating a greener, more biodiverse space for our community to enjoy

Environmental Enhancement

The Loddiswell Pump Track project goes beyond creating a recreational facility. With funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we'll transform the surrounding area into a haven for both people and nature.

By planting trees and rewilding sections around the track, we'll create a more pleasant environment that contributes to local biodiversity. This approach ensures the pump track integrates naturally with its surroundings while providing environmental benefits for generations to come.

Tree Planting

New trees will be planted around the track to enhance the natural environment and provide shade for spectators

Rewilding Areas

Dedicated zones will be rewilded to create habitats for local wildlife and increase biodiversity

Native Plants

Native plant species will be introduced to support local ecosystems and pollinators

Sustainable Design

Environmentally friendly construction methods and materials ensure minimal impact on the landscape
