New BMX Bike Park Planned For Redding
REDDING RECREATION
July 22nd, 2009
A group of bicycling advocates have begun planning a new bike park for the area along the east shore of the river below the new Hwy 44 bridge expansion in Redding. A portion of the area is currently being used as a construction yard. The group has pitched the idea to the City of Redding Parks Department where the group was given the green light to continue with the planning process. Details are sketchy as to the cost of construction and where the funds will come from, but the planning will continue.
Fresno recently opened a BMX bike park that is comparable to the one envisioned by the local work group. To see what it looks like, click here:http://videos.fresnobee.com/vmix_hosted_apps/p/media?id=4901773&item_index=1&query=video&sort=NULL
The park envisioned for Redding will have less concrete and more dirt jumps. The group recently developed a website and here’s the link:
Construction and completion of the park is several years away assuming the project is supported by the community and funds are allocated by the city or donated from private sources. Local athlete and sports celebrity Bobby McMullen is part of the group planning the bike park.
