#rideburnside moved to Symons & Symons Reserve
The pump track is currently located at Symons & Symons Reserve, Glenside.
What is happening?
On 26th September 2023 Council resolved ongoing rotation of the pump track between five locations: Penfold Park, Langman Recreation Reserve, Symons & Symons Reserve paved area, Miller Reserve courts, and Linden Avenue Reserve car park.
As a result, the pump track was set up at Penfold Park for approximately three months.

History
On 12 November 2019 Council resolved to purchase a portable pump track and conduct a 12 month rotating trial across four locations: Civic Centre (cnr Portrush Road and Greenhill Road); Newland Reserve, Erindale; Miller Reserve, Linden Park; Kensington Park Reserve, Kensington Park.
The #rideburnside trial has now concluded. The track is now in storage awaiting a Council decision on its future.
A report will be presented to Council at a meeting on 13 April 2021 on the results of the trial and the potential for introducing new locations for the track in the future. Two new locations for the pump track include Langman Recreation Reserve in Burnside, and Penfold Park in Magill.

There is both support and opposition for the use of the pump track in the City.Your ward councillors welcome your feedback on the track.
