USA BMX and the City of Port St. Lucie Collaborate to Bring Adaptive All-Wheel Park to Tradition Regional Park

New versatile BMX track featuring ride coat concrete to be adaptable for all-wheeled sports including mountain biking, skating, scootering and more

TULSA, Okla. (Oct. 3, 2023) – USA BMX is proud to announce an exciting new collaboration with the City of Port St. Lucie to bring a groundbreaking new facility to the heart of Tradition Regional Park. The USA BMX Adaptive All-Wheel Park is set to redefine recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

This exciting venture was initiated in the Spring of 2022, when USA BMX engaged in discussions with the City of Port St. Lucie during a feasibility study for a park project that would include a state-of-the-art BMX track. The park's design by Action Sports Design, a leading authority in creating world-class action sports facilities will feature a specialized concrete surface called Ride Coat, providing a virtually maintenance-free canvas that effortlessly accommodates various wheeled activities. General site work will be undertaken by a General Contractor selected by the City of Port St. Lucie, while ABA Ethos will oversee all specialty work related to the racing and riding surface, ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety.

Whether you're a BMX rider seeking heart-pounding competition, a skateboarder craving the perfect ramp, a scooter enthusiast looking for smooth transitions, or an inline skater seeking the ideal circuit, this park has you covered. The integration of a pump track into the USA BMX competition BMX track ensures an ever-evolving and dynamic experience, making it a haven for riders of all skill levels and interests.

“We’re thrilled about this addition to Tradition Regional Park, we hope with this track's versatility the All-wheel park will be a hub for all riders, uniting the community in their shared passion for wheeled sports” said Kelly Boatwright, City of Port St. Lucie Parks Administrator. 

USA BMX is currently working closely with the City of Port St. Lucie to finalize an operational agreement that will ensure the efficient management and maintenance of this facility.

“This is going to be a great addition to the community,” said Rick Hatcher, CEO/President of Play Treasure Coast Sports Tourism. “Being able to host a wide range of wheeled sports both for leisure and competition is going to be a big win bringing in participants from near and far”.

Tradition Regional Park is a partnership between the city of Port St. Lucie and Mattamy Homes.  For more information about Tradition Regional Park, please click here.
