SAN MARCOS — The anticipation is building for a state-of-the-art bike park is scheduled to open June 24.
The eight-acre facility at Bradley Park features runs for beginners, intermediate and expert riders, according to Mark Olson, the city’s director of parks and recreation. The park is geared for BMX and mountain bike riders, he said, and will be the first of its kind in North County and just the second public facility in San Diego County.
The facility features several jump lines and “pump” tracks for riders, Olson said. The hours of operation, meanwhile, are from 10 a.m. to sunset Tuesdays through Sundays and closed on Mondays, Olson said. The park is also the site of the city’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show.

“We have two different elements,” Olson explained. “We have jump lines and a pump track and then a progressive jump line. They progressively go through these linear jump lines and build up confidence and learn. You’re using your body weight to pump through the sequence of jumps.”
