The pump track and all-wheel park are part of the second phase of exciting upgrades and renovations to Charter Oak Park West. The improvements are community-driven and informed by recommendations from the 2021 Town of Manchester Parks and Facilities Master Plan.
In 2017, $2 million worth of improvements were completed, including new playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, a revamped softball field and more.
