Happy Track MX Park in Yuma opens under new management

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - An MX park recently opened up in Yuma and the new owners are ready to draw in bike riders near and far.

The park is located at 13000 S Carlotta Ave, in the area of W. County 13th Street and the East Main Canal.

Co-owners Jeren Ostberg and Bobby Lee are preparing a local track for riders of all ages and experiences. Even in their short span of time, they have gotten a glimpse of how bright the future could be.

After spending close to ninety hours renovating the park in their first week of ownership, Happy Track opened up to the public and the results wowed the owners.

“When I seen the people that showed up, I was like ‘woah,’ I’m like, ‘they really did come,’ and it’s kind of, it’s, it’s, even to us it’s kind of, like, going way better than we thought. You know what I mean? It kind of lifts your morale to everybody because you see, kinda, that hope and light at the end of the tunnel.”

Even for owners who have dreamt of what they can turn the park into for riders of all ages, they have one priority set straight: make the bike park a special place for the younger generation.

"Where we can see this thing going surpasses anything I can fathom, but like I said, we're trying to get all these little guys out here and just have somewhere to go to have an outlet to go out there and relieve stress, and bike therapy," Ostberg shared.

Ostberg and Lee have rental bikes available for first-timers and are welcoming anyone to drive up with their own bikes. They are offering membership deals along with per-park trip fees and spectator fees.
