SUPPORT THE AUBURN BIKE PARK!
PLEASE send ARD’s Kahl Muscott (Kmuscott@auburnrec.com) your comments of support as soon as possible. We have until July 3rd. An unfounded legal action is threatening its development!

ARD along with many local citizens, businesses and organizations are working to bring a Bike Park to Auburn, it would be part of the Canyon View property, across the street from the PCWA Industrial Plant at the bottom of Maidu – This has been going on for 3 years – there have been ARD Meetings, stories in the Journal, it has been the subject of many fundraisers including 3 Food Truck Fiestas that heavily advertised the Pump Track and even included a sample of what that is (Thanks to the volunteers I believe over $100,000 has been raised) – this is NOT a BMX park, this is NOT going to be a lighted facility – it is a Skills area & Pump Track facility, it is primarily designed for the kids – it is NOT a place where punks may hang out, it is more for families and kids – NO homes could even see this facility…. alas last night we were threatened with legal action, accused of not notifying the public, also gave many other misleading or false accusations – You would think we were putting in a Lit Skate Park / Music Amphitheater complete with a 24 hour 7-11. All I could think of was the Music Man – we got trouble, right here in River City…. I tell you with attitudes like this there would be NO playgrounds, baseball fields, swimming pools, gyms….. – There was a time when the community would unite to build parks and places for the families and kids (I still think the vast majority here do so) – This is a low impact, rubber on dirt facility, that will do less damage than others who use the trails, this is a family friendly facility heavily funded by donations – that has been going on for 4 years now… I DO encourage community comments, and input, and of course support.
