New Pump Bike Track to open October 2025

The many hundreds that walk along the hard surface on the Murrough, will have noticed extensive excavation work underway nearby.

These works are the development of a new pump bike track along The Murrough seafront. This exciting new project is a collaboration between Wicklow County Council and Wicklow Town Team, who secured the funding for these works under the Town & Village Renewal Scheme. Upon its completion, this will be the largest pump bike track in the country, providing many hours of activity and enjoyment for all ages and abilities.

Welcoming the development of the Pump Bike Track and the short timeline to its completion, Pascal Burke Chair of Wicklow Town Team, acknowledged the great support provided for this project by the Wicklow Municipal Distrct Staff and its Councillors by saying that this is another great example of what can be achieved for our local community by all interested parties working constructively together.

Graham Richmond, Chairperson Wicklow Municipal District Council, stated that this project forms part of what is to be a Masterplan for the Murrough Area, which is a much valued and appreciated local amenity, used by hundreds of walkers every week. Graham looks forward to the completed development of The Murrough Masterplan which has been passed unanimously by the elected councillors recently, and which will significantly improve the local amenities in the Murrough area.
