Other Names | formerly Bartow Cycle Sports MX Park |
Last Known Status | Closed |
This motocross park at one time offered a two-minute track that was watered, groomed and lighted but is now closed and no longer open for riding. The track was pretty fast and featured soft to medium pack terrain. The jumps ranged from 35ft to 95ft with table tops, doubles, stepups, stepdowns and soft sand that made all of the turns very fun.
The main track allowed quads and was suitable for a wide range of skill levels, but there was also a sand based peewee track that had been redesigned which was open to little guys on 50cc bikes and beginner riders. The pit area was grassy with mulch and offered some shade, spacious parking, restrooms, and drinking fountains. This listing will remain up for historical purposes and to prevent a wasted trip.
