This is the time of year we start to hear about all the innovations parks and recreation vendors have been working on. New ads for these products and services hit the pages of our magazine. New exhibit booths are designed. New special events are planned and announced.
It seems the whole industry is on fire with possibility.
One of those possibilities is the ongoing rise of pump tracks and bike parks—an evolution of the skate park concept that hit the parks and recreation market like a tsunami in the 1990s. You can’t help but notice the impact this sport is having on our communities—and if you don’t have one already, you’ll probably have one in the years to come.
