Torremolinos plans a 'pump track' circuit next to the El Pinillo pavilion

With the goal of "expanding and diversifying the public sports offerings," "promoting healthy lifestyle habits and outdoor physical activity," "encouraging urban, inclusive, and non-competitive sports," and "optimizing the use of public land adjacent to existing sports facilities," Torremolinos has initiated the administrative procedure for the construction of a 'pump track' circuit on land adjacent to the pavilion in the El Pinillo neighborhood, inaugurated in June 2025 and dedicated to Javier Imbroda.

The 'pump track', literally translated as a pumping track, is a practice that involves navigating a closed circuit with bumps, jumps, and banked turns, a series of elements that facilitate movement using inertia and body shifts to gain speed without the need to pedal, using bicycles, rollerblades, scooters, or even skateboards.

39,000 Euros

The bidding budget for this study is 39,325 euros, including taxes, and interested companies can submit their offers until the upcoming March 13th. The estimates from the Sports department, promoter of this intervention, plan to utilize an available plot of 4,000 square meters, where the track will be created, along with other facilities such as pathways, connecting trails, gardens, and rest areas.

In this initial phase, the local Administration has activated a contract for the drafting of a specialized technical project that will precisely define the geometric characteristics of the circuit, the materials, drainage, safety measures, accessibility, and proper integration with the urban environment and the adjacent sports facilities located at the confluence of Vicente Juan Rosa Mateo and Vicente Blanch Picot streets, in an area known as El Palmeral.

From these surface calculations, an approximation for the future work is proposed, whose details will not be known precisely until there is a specific project drafted, which may cost around 400,000 euros.

The City Council anticipates a timeframe of 60 days for the drafting of the project, and 4 months for the execution.

In the province of Málaga, 'pump track' circuits are not a novelty, with examples in Estepona, Casares, and Villanueva de Algaidas, although the one considered a reference for enthusiasts of this type of leisure was inaugurated in 2020 in the neighboring Alhaurín de la Torre. These facilities were renovated in 2024, with a redesign by the artist from Alhaurín, Víctor García as part of his 'Play in Colors' initiative.
