| Last Known Status | Destroyed |
Located within the city limits of San Jose, this motocross park at one time offered a main and vintage track but is permanently closed. Both tracks were groomed, watered and lighted. The main track had the standard obstacles such as doubles, tabletops and whoops. The vintage track was more tamer with no jumps over 60 feet.
During the last week of the month both tracks were combined to form an extended track, creating a long but challenging loop.
The park was usually open for practice on Thursdays and weekends, weather permitting. This listing will remain up for historical purposes and to prevent a wasted trip.
