what about bay creek, when will it be finished?
According to Gwinnett Parks: “We’ve just check with our development department for the most current information. It seems that the skate complex, tennis courts, basketball courts and pavilion will be opening sometime in June, but no exact date has been set.”
When will there be ( or ever) a BMX track at a gwinnett county park? Doesn’t take up much space, can hold state, regional, and national races( revenue?). Currently there isn’t 1 BMX track in this area(and Gwinnett County is a big county).
Cobb County has 2 tracks at parks, and there is 2 tracks on the south side( Peachtree BMX(William B. Davis), and Mcdonough has 1 track.
As far as upkeep, the turns are asphalt, and the rest is dirt. I am sure there is some parents who would love to donate time and resources to this project.
As far as safety, it cannot be anymore unsafe than a concrete bowl, or quarter pipe, or handrail.
Check local race shcedules and you will see they race almost everyother weekend, and some run on the same weekend( and parents are going to both on the same day.) I think this county is missing out, along with our youth.
Oh, by the way. Most of your BMXers that attend the skate parks are the same that would attend the BMX track., but pay.
