The City of Richmond unveiled the Garden City Bike Terrain Park Wednesday.
Located at the southwest corner of Garden City Community Park the nearly one-acre site acts as a de facto replacement for the old Steveston bike park, once located at No. 2 Road and Moncton Street.
"The Bike Terrain Park was designed with safety at the forefront and features jumps, tracks and skill elements that appeal to bikers of all ages and skill levels," noted a city news release.
“The Garden City Bike Terrain Park reflects the diversity of Richmond’s parks and open space system and provides an outdoor recreation opportunity for community members of all ages,” noted Mayor Malcolm Brodie via the release.
According to the city, key elements of the Garden City Bike Terrain Park include:
• A start ramp/hill
• Jumps of various heights for riders of all skill levels
• Expert line wood gap jumps
• Pump tracks for beginning and advanced riders
• Log rides and ladder bridges for balancing on and off bikes
• A viewing area for spectators
Do you have old stories of the Steveston bike park on Moncton Street? If so, we would love to hear them.
