Pump track
Keitavion Harrison drops into the new pump track at Aldo Leopold Park on Friday. Built with a $125,000 grant from Dane County, the park is the first of its kind in the area. An opening celebration is scheduled for Saturday.

Pump track
Unlike most skate parks in the area, the pump track is open to anyone with wheels, from skateboards to BMX bikes, and from beginners to experts.
