The new £155,000 pump track at the bottom of the Recreation Ground is now in use ahead of its official opening later this month.
The town council has led the project, in partnership with Wellington Sports Federation and the Wellington Pumptrack, Skatepark & Dirt Jumps group.
It has created a facility for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy cycling, scooting, and skating.
The council has decided to allow access to the track ahead of the official opening, following a successful safety inspection.
Fencing will stay up around the majority of the track to protect the grass seed which has been put down and track users are asked to stay off the mud.
CEO/Town Clerk, Dave Farrow, said: “I am thrilled the town council has been able to deliver such a fantastic facility for the community.
“The new pump track is a real asset for the town and will provide fun, recreation and opportunities for young people and families for years to come.
“I’d like to thank Clark & Kent (contractors) for the excellent job they have done. Their hard work and attention to detail have helped create something that Wellington can be proud of.
“This project shows our commitment to investing in facilities which improve the quality of life for local people, and I can’t wait to see the track in regular use.”
Oliver Edmonston-Low of Wellington Pumptrack, Skatepark & Dirt Jumps added: “It has been a long journey and a lot of work by some very dedicated people to get here.
“It is an amazing facility which will be enjoyed by everyone for a long time, and a destination asset for Wellington and the surrounding communities.
“Thank you to all involved and to the patience and support of the Wellington community.”
