Bike park proposed as Creemore attraction

Creemore resident Jon Tamlin was before Clearview Township council July 13 asking members to support the creation of a bike park.

Tamlin said a 10-member committee of parents with school-age children has been brainstorming ideas for the design and the location of the park.

Tamlin told council members that the ideal location is within an area west of the skatepark at the Creemore arena that is less than one acre in size.

He said there are already many children in the vicinity during sporting events and it would be an added attraction in Creemore.

In the first phase of development, the committee is proposing dirt ramps and berms to create the course then adding obstacles made of wood and rock. 

Council agreed to refer the proposal to the parks and recreation committee at its next meeting in September.
