Location Chosen

Schmidt Park is located at 53 Hilltop Drive Ayr and is directly beside Cedar Creek Public school and neighbours the Ayr Fire Hall.

The Pump Track will be a fantastic addition!

The ride-a-thon has been cancelled due to lack of participant interest... :(  We are planning a fundraising event as part of the Ayr 200 Celebrations Saturday Aug 3. It will be a 200 minute Ride-A-Thon event where participants will collect pledge donations prior to the event. Prize raffle tickets will be given to those that raise a minimum $50. For each $25 raised in addition to the base $50 the participant will gain 1 more entry. For example, $100 raised = 3 raffle tickets. The grand prize will be a new Radio BMX bike!
