KLAMATH FALLS, OR – March 7th, 2025 – Healthy Klamath announces that plans are underway to build the Klamath Falls Pump Track north of Eulalona Park. This state-of-the-art project is a collaborative effort involving the City of Klamath Falls, Klamath County, Healthy Klamath, Sky Lakes, Oregon Department of Transportation, Cascade Health Alliance, and Klamath Trails Alliance.
A pump track is a circular trail designed for riding wheeled sports equipment such as bikes, skateboards, and scooters. Riders generate momentum by pumping their bodies up and down instead of pedaling. This type of recreational infrastructure offers numerous benefits to our community, including supporting bike tourism, community engagement and promoting a healthy, active lifestyle for residents of all ages.
“We’re excited about the Klamath Falls Pump Track project, which we know will be a fantastic addition for our community,” says Merritt Driscoll, Director of Healthy Klamath and Sky Lakes Foundation.” But to make this happen, we need support. Klamath Falls has a great track record of coming together to implement projects like the Moore Park Playground, and I am confident that, together, we can bring the Klamath Falls Pump Track to life.”
Healthy Klamath is currently halfway to its fundraising goal, and we encourage community members and local businesses to contribute. Once the final funds are secured, construction will commence, with the aim of completing the project by Summer of 2027.
