A new sports complex featuring a pump track and climbing wall has opened in Monroeville’s Boyce Park.

The Boyce Park Pump Track and Climbing Wall is an expansion of an existing 3Bs action park into a gravity sports complex. It includes a large bicycle pump track and seven custom climbing walls.

The new installation will be the largest bike track in the Allegheny County Parks System. It offers varying degrees of difficulty and challenging terrain for bikers of all skill levels.

A pump track is a closed loop track consisting of two components - rollers and berms. Rollers are the small hills built into the track, while berms serve as rounded corners. The track is 740 LF and intended for all skill levels and ages.

The bouldering walls can be continuously reconfigured throughout the year to provide climbers with new routes and obstacles.

Bouldering is a type of climbing that doesn’t require the use of a rope or harness as it’s typically done on shorter walls and formations.
