The track is located next to the community hall at Michael Drive, Salt Ash and has been completed in record time.
Mayor Palmer says it’s a great result for the kids of Port Stephens.
“This mini pump track is the first of its kind in Port Stephens! The track has an asphalt seal, rather than a traditional dirt track, which is great because kids can ride their scooters and skateboards on it as well as their bikes.
“I know the community has been waiting a long time for this, so it’s wonderful to be able to officially open the track ahead of schedule.
“We’re creating a mini recreation hub for the community at Salt Ash — we have the community hall, the playground and now the pump track.
“It’s also in a central location so that families from Tilligerry, Williamtown and Medowie can come and give it a go for themselves.
“We’re committed to investing in our community and this is something I know many have advocated for over a long period, including former Mayor Bruce MacKenzie. His passion for this project has been a driving force to achieve this wonderful outcome for the community.
“I am proud to deliver this for the youth of Port Stephens — and to see it completed ahead of schedule is just the icing on the cake,” Mayor Palmer said.
