On Wednesday afternoon, June 29, PumpTrack Ouddorp Duin was festively opened. The honor went to Mayor Ada Grootenboer to cut the red and white ribbon together with a few children. The PumpTrack had been wrapped in red and white ribbons for a month because of the work that still had to be carried out. This to the great disappointment of the youth from Ouddorp who couldn't wait to enter the track. On Wednesday it was time, after the speeches by Jeroen den Hollander (land owner), Jörgen Borsboom (director Natural High) and Mayor Ada Grootenboer, the countdown took place and then the children could start on the PumpTrack.

PumpTrack Ouddorp Duin
Unique PumpTrack
The track consists of 3 parts; a kids track, a PumpTrack and a skate bowl. Both small children from the age of 3 can go there on a balance bike or scooter, but professional skaters also like to show their 'tricks' in the skate bowl. A PumpTrack is an asphalt circuit with bends and bumps that follow each other rhythmically. It's kind of a cross between a BMX track and a skate park. The pump track Ouddorp Duin is unique in the Netherlands, because of the combination of pump track and the challenging skate bowl. The PumpTrack is located next to the roundabout at the Vrijheidsweg and the Westerweg in Ouddorp, in the recreation area Ouddorp Duin. The PumpTrack is accessible free of charge from sunrise to sunset. On the track you can ride a (walking) bike, step, skateboard, or skates and wearing a helmet is mandatory. On the Strandplein of Ouddorp Duin, you can buy bmx bicycles, scooters,
rent balance bikes and protection. At Natural High, also located on the Strandplein, you can rent and buy skateboards and protection
Collaboration
The track was realized with a contribution from the tourist tax reserve of the Municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee. In addition, the following parties have made a substantial financial contribution: Landal Beach Resort Ouddorp Duin, Ridderstee, Holiday Park De Klepperstee, Project Developer Otium, Dorpsraad Ouddorp, Natural High, Restaurant Bij Marc, SPAR, RentTourBuy and the Houten Kaap.
The Ouddorp Duin entrepreneurs have often shown that they can jointly realize large projects. Often in good cooperation with the municipality and province, such as last year's Minigolf Ouddorp Duin, the Strandtheater and the event square, for events such as the open-air cinema or food truck festivals. For next year, the Ouddorp Duin entrepreneurs are still looking at phase 2 of the Outdoorbos, where the PumpTrack is located, to expand it even further with (outdoor) sports elements.

"What an amazing success the PumpTrack Ouddorp Duin has been. As expected, it is extremely busy during the school holidays, with all the tourists from Ouddorp, but it is especially nice to see how busy it is after school with the youth from Ouddorp and the surrounding area. And if you drive by during school hours, you will see fathers and mothers trying their hand at skateboarding Unique to this location is the combination of an accessible kids track for the little ones on a balance bike, the cool challenging PumpTrack for 8+ and then the super cool skate bowl for the pros This facility is a perfect fit for Ouddorp, one of Europe's surfing hotspots and a place for many family holidays.”
