BMX
bikers have two places in Fall River to practice their sport: one at
the North Park Skateboard Park and the other at Britland Park off of 17th
Street. These two parks are part of the Fall River Mass
In Motion effort to create safe places for active living throughout the City, especially for younger people. There is a growing interest in BMX biking, but it requires
paths that are specifically engineered for BMX
bikes. A group of young people spend every summer day at the North
Park facility and smaller groups use the course behind the Police Station
at Britland Park. In addition, Chris Durand organizes weekly BMX rides around Fall River every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. (weather and daylight permitting) leaving from the Flint Plaza. Mass In Motion Coordinator Juliane Kelly has looked at other off-road courses and is eager to meet with anyone with an interest in cycling in any form.
