I am starting this petition to get the support of other bike riders in order to get a place to ride. The town of Newmarket and surrounding area have an indoor skatepark that does not allow the bikeing population into the park. My friends and I find this very unfair due to there is a large amount of bike riders in the area. I have talked to the local park organizer and they have told me that if the biking community can orgainize themselves there is a chance that there can be events and or even a chance for an indoor bike area. Thank you for supporting our cause.
I met with the facility operator to review the current insurance requirements for bike access. We are now drafting a formal proposal to address their safety concerns regarding mixed-use scheduling. Expect a summary of the site requirements once I receive their written feedback.

The growth of this petition has reached the level necessary to request a formal meeting with the Newmarket parks department. I am drafting a proposal now to present our request for dedicated riding hours at the current facility.

I have been looking for a place like joyride, Markum, for my 5 year old son who excels in bike riding. I’d love to see one open in Newmarket for Barrie!!!

would be so nice to actually have somewhere local to ride all winter instead of just sitting at home playing video games.
