A PumpTrack at a holiday park offers five concrete benefits: it attracts a broad target group (from toddlers to adults), enhances the stay experience, is sustainable and low-maintenance, complies with legal safety requirements, and fits on a relatively small surface area. For recreation parks that want to stand out and retain guests longer, a PumpTrack is a smart investment with a long lifespan. Below, we answer the five most frequently asked questions about PumpTracks at holiday parks.
Which age groups can use a PumpTrack?
A PumpTrack is suitable for virtually all age groups, from toddlers on balance bikes to adults on mountain bikes or BMX bikes. This makes it one of the widest range of sports facilities you can offer as a holiday park. Other playgrounds or skate parks often target a narrow age group, whereas a PumpTrack invites everyone to join in.
Specifically, you use an asphalt PumpTrack on a bicycle, BMX, skateboard, scooter, inline skates, or wheelchair. Beginners ride slowly over the curves and hills, while advanced users can build up speed and practice tricks. This means that a family with children of different ages can have fun in the same place at the same time. Parents can watch or simply ride along.
For a holiday park, this is incredibly valuable. Guests with young children, teenagers, and even grandparents all find their place. You don't have to build a separate facility for every age group, because the PumpTrack does the work for everyone.
How does a PumpTrack attract more guests to a holiday park?
A PumpTrack attracts more guests because it is a visible, active, and unique feature that sets holiday parks apart from the competition. Families are increasingly comparing parks based on their range of outdoor activities. A PumpTrack stands out in photos, reviews, and word-of-mouth, giving guests an extra reason to book and return.
In 2026, we see that the demand for active outdoor recreation is growing strongly. Guests want more than a swimming pool and a playground. They are looking for experiences where they move, are outdoors, and try something new. asphalt PumpTrack It aligns perfectly with that: it is exciting, accessible, and suitable for multiple users simultaneously.
Moreover, a PumpTrack encourages longer stays at the park itself. Guests do not have to leave the grounds for activities, which is good for the atmosphere and for the revenue of other facilities at the park. A PumpTrack is therefore not only an attraction, but also a smart commercial tool.
What are the long-term maintenance costs of a PumpTrack?
The maintenance costs of an asphalt PumpTrack are low compared to wooden or concrete play structures. Asphalt is a durable material that is resistant to weather, heavy use, and vandalism. With an annual inspection and periodic maintenance, a PumpTrack remains in good condition for decades.
An asphalt pumptrack has a minimum lifespan of 20 yearsThis means that the investment pays for itself over a long period. By comparison, wooden playground equipment requires parts to be replaced more frequently and is more susceptible to rot and wear. Asphalt does not have that problem.
For holiday parks, it is reassuring to know that maintenance is predictable and transparent. Velosolutions offers a maintenance contract that includes annual inspections and asphalt maintenance. This way, you know the costs in advance and won't face any surprises. As a result, the total cost of ownership over the lifespan of a PumpTrack is easy to calculate and often lower than that of traditional play equipment.
Does a PumpTrack meet the legal safety requirements for recreation parks?
Yes, a professionally installed asphalt PumpTrack complies with the Dutch Amusement and Playground Equipment Act (WAS) and the associated standard NEN-EN 14974. These are the same legal requirements that apply to approved playground equipment and attractions at recreation parks. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate that verifies this.
Safety is ensured even after delivery. Periodic inspections and professional maintenance ensure that the PumpTrack remains safe to use. Wearing a helmet is mandatory on the track, which further enhances safety for users. As the manager, you can clearly communicate this via signs at the entrance to the track.
How much space does a PumpTrack need at a holiday park?
A PumpTrack can be installed on an area of approximately 200 to 300 square meters, depending on the design and the desired difficulty level. Larger tracks offer more variety and capacity, but even a compact version provides plenty of fun for multiple age groups at the same time.
The design of a PumpTrack can be fully customized. This means you can make optimal use of the available space at your park, even if that space is irregularly shaped or limited. A good design takes into account the surroundings, the approach routes, and the capacity you wish to provide.
