BMX Park

If ever there was a way to judge the popularity of BMX, it would have to be the rise of the local BMX park. Like skateboarding, BMX has had a history of problems gaining acceptance by city leaders across the country. For decades, BMX parks have been few and far between due to local laws which have shut down, or prohibited the building of these parks.

In recent years however, the wide spread popularity of the sport has made the BMX park much more common. Many city parks and recreation departments have built and funded these parks to the cheers of BMX riders everywhere. These newly legal parks have provided a safe place for teenagers to gather and socialize.

The community BMX park is often the site of locally sanctioned races and other events. Amateur BMX races are common family events that can sometimes draw hundreds of people in a safe, friendly environment. Many of today’s top riders started out in community events like these.
