We WILL Survive!
Recently, our track was broken into and every single bike along with more than $600 in concessions were stolen. By the gracious help of a BMX family, we have recovered 4 of our bikes!!! If you have any information regarding the break in, please let us or the Fort Wayne Police Department know. We have a lot of kids that have truly enjoyed the ability to come out and ride the track and try out the race bikes we had. Please consider helping us in any way you can to get that back for the kids.
 
 A Huge thank you to the Fort Wayne Police Department and Detectives Bureau for coming out and taking the time to file an extensive report, and providing outstanding follow up. Also, thank you to Summit City for working with the police department to help recover serial numbers of the stolen bikes. We hope the investigation will turn up some great results!
 
If you or anyone you know have a bicycle they'd be willing to donate to the track, please contact Amy at 260-704-6651 or ride@frankeparkbmx.com
 
 

Also, stay tuned for our State Qualifier Race information! 

  

 
We are putting together a mass email list so that you can receive periodic emails as changes and schedules are put together. If you would like to be added to the list, please email us at ride@frankeparkbmx.com and we will get you added!
