Bike park in top gear!

















This is Dave Aylard of Brackenhurst Farms admiring his gardening skills after a full 8 hour day of bulldozing the park then wind rowing the material along the north fence.

On top of donating his Bulldozer and expertise Dave has also donated gravel for our access roads throughout the park.

Our design concept relies on the skill levels divided by three key roads that will not only just divide the park in phases/skills but act as spectator roads for event days, competitions and the curious parent who wants to watch their child in all areas of the park.

This is Jim Dowd. Jim is a farmer by day and night and professional tree faller on his coffee breaks. Jim showed up between his busy day to strategically remove some trees deemed hazardous so that we can safely design throughout the natural sections. No animals or ferns were harmed in this trees falling!
Big thanks to John Plant of John Plant Excavating for stepping in and helping organize with Gord Martman Excavating for delivering Dave's bulldozer to the site.
This has truly become a community event with everyone chipping in for the cause and we are beyond pumped to build this park like no other and start developing future athletes by simply giving people a place ride.
Too many people quit riding over the lack of places to explore so if you want to get on board and help us out by all means get in touch!
What is needed the most is motivated individuals to rally up memberships and help organise work parties.
A second and very important position is of course donations and fundraising. Someone who sees the cause and the vision we have of making this park a modern fitness park.
Please email nsfreeride@gmail.com and CC gp.spi@shaw.ca as well and we will be in touch.
Cheers!
