The 8-acre bike course at Bradley Park in San Marcos includes a pump track, a perimeter trail and jump lines for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced.
There's a new place in North County for bikers to drop off, jump, and corner the berms. KPBS North County reporter Alexander Nguyen says the badly needed park was years in the making.The 8-acre dirt bike course at Bradley Park in San Marcos opened Monday. It includes a pump track, a perimeter trail and jump lines for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced.
“But of course, that's not really the way to go about it," Murphy said."So the city, contacted us and actually contacted some of those kids and families directly about how we could engage on finding a real place for an official bike park in San Marcos. “ The park is the first of its kind in North County. Previously, bikers would have to go to the South Bay, Orange or Riverside Counties for amenities like this.“We anticipate several hundreds and several thousand a day depending on the time of year and depending on the weather, of course," San Marcos Parks and Recreation director Mark Olson said."But it's going to be a very popular amenity that we're happy to be able to provide, especially to our San Marcos residents.
