Skatepark or pump track: the basics
Both types of facility appear on OsmoRamp, in two sections of the same directory. Here are general pointers to tell them apart; they describe no particular site.
A skatepark
In general terms, a skatepark is an area equipped with features (ramps, bowls, banks, rails, steps) designed for board and wheeled sports. The features, their layout and their condition vary a great deal from one site to another.
A pump track
A pump track is usually a continuous circuit of bumps and banked turns that you ride by renewing your momentum with body movements rather than by pedalling or pushing. Circuits differ in length, surface and difficulty.
How OsmoRamp classifies a place
The classification follows the facility type declared in Data ES (“Skatepark” or “Pumptrack”). A site with both types has a single page, visible in both lists.
And disciplines?
The disciplines practised or accepted on a site (skateboard, BMX, scooter, inline skates, bike…) depend on the place and its rules. OsmoRamp does not deduce them from the facility type: ask the municipality or the operator, or read the notices on site.
