Work is underway on Rome’s newest recreational amenity.
A groundbreaking was held on Wednesday for a new pump track at Ridgeferry Park.
A pump track is a looping trail for bikes and scooters.
It has banked turns for easy flow.
No pedaling – just pump and ride, using your body’s up-and-down motion to build speed and keep momentum.
You can also walk the track, skateboard on it, or even rollerblade on it.
It can be utilized by anyone from children to senior citizens.
The project is funded by TRED of Rome-Floyd County, SPLOST, and the City of Rome.
