Dear Parks and Recreation Commission,
I would like to encourage the Parks and Recreation Department to prioritize adding a pump track at Sinsheimer
Park, with Laguna Lake being my second preferred location. These two parks have been identified in the
recently approved Parks and Rec blueprint for 2021-2024.
Both parks have lots of space and dirt to accommodate a pump track and would be in good proximity to
existing trails and school routes so that kids would have a fun after-school activity to do on their bike ride
home. These locations are also able to be accessed via safe bike infrastructure such as the new Madonna
cycle track and Railroad Safety Trail.
I would like to discourage adding a track along the Bob Jones Trail segment off S. Higuera. This is a poor
place to put the pump track since there is currently no low-stress access to the trail and no parking either. I
strongly feel that time and resources should be focused on the locations that have low-stress bikeway
connectivity and are along school routes.
Thank you,
Jake Minnick
