Hey, my name is Winston and I live in Tucson, Arizona. I love to ride my bike with friends. We like to ride dirt and we build jumps. But, people with dirt bikes always run them over. And it is really stressful because we put a ton of hard work into building and they just get torn down. Also we used to have a local place behind our Target Greatland store that people built a lot of jumps at but just recently, they got torn down. It is hard to find a safe, fun place to ride our bikes. We think it would be fun to ride at a skate park but, every skate park is for skateboarders only. BMX bikers can't ever ride at any skate park. There are two skate parks that I know of, they are Purple Heart Park and The OTT YMCA skate park but bikers get kicked off or arrested anytime they go there. I think it would be gtreat to build a bmx park on the eastide of Tucson, Arizona. There are tons of great places to build it at near 22nd and Houghton. Please sign my petition. Thank you, Winston, age 13
I am hearing from so many riders who are tired of getting kicked out of skate parks. We are putting together a list of specific sites near Houghton to present to the city council. Send a text to three friends right now and ask them to sign this page.

The momentum behind this BMX park is real and it shows how many people want a safe place to ride in this city. Head over to the Facebook page for this campaign and post your favorite spot to ride locally. We need to keep this energy moving toward the city council office.

Finally someone said it. The eastside has literally zero places for kids to go. Stop treating bmx riders like criminals for just wanting to ride their bikes.
