Not a pump track as such but a small BMX track in Kiddy. Been a while since I've been past it so don't know what state it's in. Hang on I'll get location...

Wolverhampton
I used to drive past this on the way to work, no idea what the access is like, but thought it might be of interest
(Not shown on google maps or street view)

PS: There's small BMX tracks in Kinver & Cookley, might be worth a look, no pump tracks though as far as I'm aware.

Don't forget there is also one at the BMX track in Great Barr, and
if you are a Birmingham council tax payer you get to use the BMX track and pump track for free at certain times.

There is one in the centre of Kidderminster, just off the ring road by the big playground and lido-type-thing.

Cookley bmx track is a bit rubbish, needs a lot of work doing to it, but could be OK for a play. We take the kids there a fair bit, but haven't visited for a while

Thanks for that info, Houns - it's a bit nearer than Hereford, which is where we've been before anyway. I don't suppose anybody knows of anything any nearer to Malvern/Worcester?

Thanks to Shropshire CC and a certain ex pro DHer we are blessed with them in shropshire.
Add Pontesbury to the list, the added bonus is you are right at the foot of Eastridge as well, so after he has shown you up on the pump track he do the same around the red route 😀

No idea, just used to notice it as I drove past.. would seem a shame if it is, looks a great setup.

Did a few today 3 in total. My son is only 3, he really enjoyed it whizzing round on his balance bike whilst I was trying to air of everthing.

We did cookley, kinver and kidderminster.

I would say cookley was the best then followed by kidderminster, not too impressed with kinver (wasnt much for me to play on)
