The Olympic sport of bmx bicycle riding is an ever growing sport and amenity being provided by even smaller cities such as Patterson and Atwater. Tuesday night the Turlock City Council expressed some support for the sport and providing a place to do it but did not approve the Christoffersen + Walnut storm basin proposal. The unknown operational guidelines and rules ultimately sent the project back to the Parks, Recreation, and Community Commission for definition before any location is to be approved by Council. The bike park project began in January 2007.
