Bike Parks for Kids
We envision a community full of inspired and motivated youth choosing to ride their bike (replacing screen time with bike time!) Only 12% of kids get enough recommended daily physical activity. Youth are struggling with mental depression at alarming rates and there is a lack of free and engaging outdoor activities, especially for older kids. Bike parks solve these problems by providing safe, self-contained spaces for exciting and adrenaline inducing cycling experiences for all kids.
Together with the Madison Parks Foundation, Madison Parks, and the Saris Foundation, Madison’s South Side the Saris Foundation Bike Park was installed near the Leopold School. We are committed to activating the park and bringing similar bike parks to more neighborhoods, measuring success, one child at a time. We are working to build resiliency and self-confidence in our underserved and need your help and support!
