Carterton Pump Track

Yes indeed, the rumours are true… Carterton BMX track, which cost the Town Council £15,000 to build, several years ago, is due to be renovated and developed as a “pump track”.

Annual Ramp repaintSaturday 18th July 2009

The annual skate park repaint is scheduled for Saturday 18th July (again, weather permitting). I will order the paint, brushes, rollers, paper suits, gloves etc. this week.
