Riverside Pump Track

Right on Halifax Street in the heart of Nelson, this pump track is genuinely one of the better spots in town for kids who are into bikes or boards. The rollers and berms are well-designed — you can actually build momentum and carry speed if you know what you’re doing, which makes it more interesting than your average flat concrete slab. It gets busy on weekends, so weekday afternoons are the sweet spot if you want room to move. Urban location means you’re close to everything, though the setting itself is pretty no-frills.
