The North Shore Bike Park in Maple Ridge is hosting an official grand opening event this weekend, April 25 and 26.<\/p>\n
The celebratory opening comes after the new facility at 13065 Katonien St. has already seen six months of high-flying action, and having seen nearly 9,000 visitors.<\/p>\n
Throughout the weekend, the community is invited to a grand opening festival featuring BMX legends, local leadership, and high-octane competitions at the 35,000-square-foot indoor all-wheeled sports hub.<\/p>\n
Since its soft launch, the park has become a sanctuary for mountain bikers, BMX riders, scooter enthusiasts, skateboarders, and skaters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat started as a vision for a world-class indoor riding destination has quickly become a home base for this community,\u201d said the North Shore Bike Park team in a statement.<\/p>\n
