Pump Track – BATS

As of May 2019, the Pump Track Build is done. Located at the near end of Stark Street, it is located at the Stark Street Playground, a Town of Bennington property that connects to a small network of trails, on Southwestern Vermont Medical Center property (SVHC Trail). Any issues with the pump track, email: batsvt@gmail.com

Stay tuned to website Home page, News posts, Facebook, and Instagram for updates, or sign up for our occasional E-News to get involved! Besides SUPER VOLUNTEERS, we are still seeking donations of landscaping plantings, or material to make benches. We raised about $1,000 from the bike raffle, in addition to the VMBA grant we received!

We encourage you to walk or ride to the park from a downtown location to keep the parking and neighborhood congestion-free. We can’t wait to see people enjoy riding their bikes on the pump track, then hitting the trails!
