Cape Breton is set to get a new pump park. Jamie Battiste the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, and a member of Parliament for Sydney-Victoria, announced a 75,000 -dollar investment through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund for Cape Breton.
The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
The money will allow Cape Breton to construct a pump park. The park will feature small humps, and banked turns for Pedal Bikes, Skateboards, Scooters, Rollerblades, and Wheelchairs.
Users can ride the track by pumping their bodies up and down to gain momentum and speed. Pump tracks have become more popular in parks around the world among users of all skill levels.
