A big pile of sand at the beginning of the boulevard in Cagnes sur Mer raised last month some questions. What was going on? We now finally have the answers; it will be a skate circuit! Fun to do (I guess) and fun to watch if you’re passing by. The Pumptrack Landscape project aims to create an innovative sports and leisure space located by the sea. This development, the first of its kind in the department at this location, benefits from a strategic location on a busy site, offering exceptional views and an attractive environment.
Cagnes sur Mer opens boulevard for skaters
The Pumptrack is a track designed for various wheeled sports, such as BMX, mountain biking, scooters, skateboards, and rollerblading. Suitable for beginners and advanced athletes alike, it offers courses of varying difficulty.
Constructed of asphalt to ensure optimal grip and reduce maintenance, the track is 430 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. Users can progress without having to pedal, using the pumping motions on bumps and turns.
Sustainable landscaping
As part of a sustainable development approach, this project is fully in line with the city’s greening policy. Around the track, nearly 1,300 trees and shrubs will be planted, alongside grass (60% cynodon) and a 1,800 m² rustic meadow. This landscaped area provides a pleasant setting while ensuring the safety of users and preserving the sea view.
A redesigned space for everyone
Alongside the creation of the Pumptrack, a reorganization of traffic areas is planned. A new, secure cycle path will be built along the roadway, while a large pedestrian area will be maintained along the coastline. These adjustments will allow visitors to safely observe activities on the track.
An attractive, intergenerational project
The Landscaped Pumptrack aims to become a place for intergenerational gatherings and sharing, thus strengthening local attractiveness while encouraging soft mobility.
This innovative project, combining sport, nature and accessibility, is designed to attract a wide audience and offer a unique seaside experience. Come and discover a dynamic, ecological and friendly space, designed for all lovers of board sports and the outdoors!
