The Fairmount Park Conservancy and the Philly Pumptrack Project
In fall 2010, Heidi Grunwald, her mountain biking boyfriend Kenn Rymdeko and their pal Harlan Price met with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Director of Development, Ed Fagan. The trio proposed a pumptrack in Philadelphia, a small, dirt course designed for bicycling without pedaling. The proposed track would include a trail system of raised banks, smooth mounds for pumping, and crater-like bowls.
