Tranent

Five potential locations have been identified in Tranent for a pump track as shown on the map. All of the sites are council-owned and would be subject to planning permission:

  1. Polson Park
  2. Meeting House Drive
  3. Ross High School parallel to 2G pitches
  4. Ormiston Road/ Muirpark Road
  5. Meadowmill

1 Polson Park

Locating a new pump track in Polson Park in a space between the play area and the park would enhance the existing provision and help to create a 'destination park' with a range of facilities. However the proximity to housing and the potential reduction in open space for informal use are considerations.

2 Meeting House Drive

Close to Ross High School, Meeting House Drive has an existing multi-use games area on site. While it is a central location nearby parking is residents only.

3 Ross High School (parallel to 2G pitches)

This is a large area of open space with existing recreational area close to Ross High School. it would be possible to use a currently unused area without impacting on the open space.

4 Ormiston Road/Muirpark Road

Close to active travel routes and with a good-sized area of open space, locating a pump track alongside existing play equipment would help to crete a 'destination park' at Ormiston Road/Muirpark Road. The site is close to housing and there is no car park.

5 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.
