Bikepark skatepark PRINCE GEORGE, BC

Riding a bike is a rite of passage, a passport to worlds beyond the front lawn, for toddlers and young kids. Bikes represent fun, freedom, and fresh air – everything that’s good about being a kid! A bike park enables all of this and more. A bicycle playground is exactly what it sounds like: a playground designed with features for kids to ride. Bicycle playgrounds include features like ladder bridges, rollers, tunnels, and even teeter-totters specifically designed to offer a variety of fun obstacles that safely build cycling confidence. Bicycle playgrounds are also safe. They get kids away from busy streets while providing a dedicated space to ride. Many people live in neighborhoods where kids don’t have a safe place to learn to ride, so they end up trying to learn on the sidewalk or in the street. In a neighborhood with a bicycle playground, parents can teach kids to ride in an area created just for that. Open spaces allow for better sightlines for parents to watch their kids without getting in the way of their fun. There’s added motivation for kids to learn to ride, since they’re witnessing other kids riding and having fun. Your kids may improve their social skills while building confidence in their own abilities. Bicycle playgrounds have benefits that kids never think about yet sit at the top of the list for recreation professionals, such as getting kids outside, learning balance, gaining strength, focusing on and completing tasks, and interacting with other kids. Bicycle playgrounds also teach kids to practice taking turns as they complete laps around the track.
