Buy a Meter – Build the Track!
We need your help! Buying a section of track gets us one meter closer to building the community of Saskatoon and our BMX family a safe, low-maintenance, publicly-accessible racing and riding facility.
For the past 5 years, we’ve been laying the groundwork to build a new track footprint and facility at our existing location in Lakewood Park, behind the Lakewood Tennis dome. We’ve worked closely with our partners at the City of Saskatoon to secure a long-term lease agreement, developed facility plans and a track layout that has gone through the necessary approvals, and now we are ready to build!
Help us build Saskatoon a track that will foster racers and recreational riders for many years to come!

To build the desired layout, utilize the best long-term track surface solution and have the track built by the best – Tom Ritz, we need to raise a significant amount!

Track Design & Layout:
The track design itself has been design by the legendary Tom Ritz, who is responsible for some of the world’s best and high profile tracks including the Olympic track in Rio and many more. Read about his experience here.
The landscaping adjustments and overall park layout have received all necessary community and environment approvals, thanks to our partnership teams at the City of Saskatoon and Crosby, Hanna & Associates.
Updated as of October 2020. This concept plan is still a work in progress, subject to approvals therefore subject to change. 
This is what our current track looks like; old dirt with plenty of glass, rocks, debris. Short, 5-straight layout that does not meet UCI standards. Susceptible to rain and weeds and demands plenty of watering, raking and general maintenance 
This is the Centennial BMX Park in Etobicoke, ON, built for the Pan Am games by Tom Ritz Designs, the same track designer/builder we are working with. It highlights similarities to what we are striving for with our track; a longer, 4 straight layout with integrated pro-section on straight 2, clay base/crushed rock/soiltac track surface to reduce damage and maintenance after seasonal weather and rain, paved berms and enhanced landscaping, among many other things we are planning!
