Prestonpans
Four potential locations have been identified in Prestonpans for a pump track as shown on the map. All of the sites are council-owned and would be subject to planning permission:
- Preston Crescent
- Cemetery Park
- Cuthill Park
- Meadowmill
1 Preston Crescent
Preston Crescent offers a large area of open space with existing play facilities on site. Trees and the road provide a natural barrier to housing while remaining visible and good access and parking are available. The location is on the outskirts of town.
2 Cemetery Park
Close to Preston Lodge High School, Cemetery Park has existing play and multi-use games area on site. The large open space is in a central location although has limited parking and is close to houses and the cemetery.
3 Cuthill Park
Cuthill Park has existing play on the site however the large slope limits space available and it is close to existing houses and the bowling club.
4 Meadowmill
With extensive parking on site and good connectivity to active travel routes, Meadowmill offers enough space for a potentially larger site. It would not be overlooked by housing or residents however it's location outwith the town centre and proximity to trees and the Battlefield site may need consideration.
