Venue/Track Information

Located in Etobicoke, the 3.2-hectare Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre will be home to BMX cycling
competitions at the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games.

This regional park was opened to celebrate Canada’s 100th birthday and since 1967 has been a setting for
many recreational activities. A new addition to the park, the BMX Centre will see riders launch from a
permanent eight-metre start ramp onto a track that is being designed and constructed to meet Union
Cycliste Internationale (UCI) certification standards. The Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre, jointly
funded by the Government of Canada and the City of Toronto, will be a compact closed-looped design
consisting of four straightaways and three banked turns filled with challenging jumps that will test the 25
male and 18 female riders competing in 2015.

Spectator excitement will run high as BMX riders use their athleticism and skill to cut in and jump through
the air as they race around this 350-metre track.

Following the Games, the public will have access to this new facility. A permanent five-metre start ramp
will be constructed beside the eight-metre start ramp to serve younger and inexperienced riders.

This venue will be serviced throughout all practice & racing sessions by certified medical professionals.
