The Evolution from Pumptracks to URBAN SPORTS PARKS
About potential for communities and tourism.
Dirk Scheumann // Schneestern
„I believe in the concept of the Urban Sports Park not only as the manager of Schneestern, but first and foremost as a family man. I have been searching for and have (yet) to find this kind of recreational facility for my family."
The starting point of the presentation is the "asphalt pump track", which is booming worldwide in well-developed countries as a form of roller sports infrastructure. But are the tracks really used primarily by bikers - as one might conclude from their historical development? During this presentation, current surveys will be discussed that hint at the need of several new target groups.
Based on this knowledge, we have further developed the Pumptrack and designed the URBAN SPORTS PARK as the next logical step for Roller Sports Areas. Roller sports stay the central element within the URBAN SPORTS PARK.
The other 3 pillars are: Encounter, Fitness and the current Work-Life-Challenges. Based on 6 of the 12 global megatrends, this concept offers both social potential through providing space for movement and activity beneficial for the common good as well as tourism potential by acting as a complementary offer, both through publicly accessible facilities.
Dirk gives insights into the history and product development from the unpaved Pumptrack for mountain bikers to the individual Urban Sports Park for communities and destinations.
