Hello,
I’m reaching out in hopes of persuading the City of SLO to consider building an official Pump Track/ Dirt Bike Park. With
the demolition of the Costco jumps my two sons (9 and 12yrs old) don’t have a place to enjoy their favorite sport. We
typically send 1-2 days a week going to the jumps for enjoyment and exercise. Neither kid is into Ball and Field sports.
No matter how hard I try, they have zero interest in going to a traditional park. When we travel we always hunt down
skate and bike parks. Our favorite destinations are Truckee, CA and Bend Oregon. Both towns have created the BEST
venues for riders of all levels to enjoy riding. Please take note from what they have created and build something similar
in SLO.
