Have your say on the proposed pump track at Anderson Park
Plans for a new pump track at Anderson Park in Bonnybridge are picking up speed - and local people are being invited to help shape the final design.
A public drop-in event will take place at Anderson Park on Thursday 14 August 2025, from 4pm to 6pm, where the community can view proposals, chat to the team behind the project, and give feedback that will help inform the next steps.
The pump track, designed for bikes, scooters, skateboards and other wheeled sports, is one of several improvements being delivered in Bonnybridge through a £500,000 investment from Falkirk Council’s Regeneration Fund.
Delivered in partnership with Green Action Trust, the project is part of a broader effort to create safer, more active spaces for young people and local families. Similar tracks in the area have become popular destinations for cyclists of all ages, and the Council hopes to bring those same benefits to Bonnybridge.
Councillor Paul Garner, spokesperson for Economic Development, said:
We’ve worked with the community to identify what improvements would make the biggest difference - and creating better spaces for young people was a clear priority. The pump track at Anderson Park has the potential to be a fantastic asset for Bonnybridge, but we want to get it right. That’s why this event is so important, as it’s your chance to help shape something new and exciting for the village.
James Montgomery, Development Officer, Green Action Trust, said:
We’re excited to support Falkirk Council in bringing this new pump track to life. It’s a great example of how improving green spaces can deliver for local people, creating places that are fun, active, and welcoming for everyone. Projects like this also support wider ambitions through the Central Scotland Green Network, helping communities enjoy the outdoors, improve wellbeing, and make the most of their local environment.
About the Regeneration Fund
The Regeneration Fund was created by the Council to support improvements in communities facing economic and environmental challenges. In Bonnybridge, £500,000 has been allocated to projects shaped by local feedback, including upgrades to Memorial Park, improvements at Bonnybridge Toll, and a proposed new pump track at Anderson Park.
Bonnybridge and Slamannan are among the first areas where work is moving forward. Bainsford and Langlees, Dunipace, Camelon and Tamfourhill, and Bo’ness are also set to benefit from the fund, with ongoing community engagement helping to determine what improvements matter most to local people in those areas.
