From the reviews

…I was with my toddler on a balance bike so we stuck to the smaller kids track directly to the left, and then tried out the pump track which was a little more difficult for him (to the right as you are walking in). The kids track was perfect for him (he's 3 years old with moderate skill).

…The pump track is awesome & my favorite part, but get there early or else you have to fight off hoards of children who just fly around willy-nilly 😂 have almost taken a few out myself by accident.

…it looked neat but I'm WAY past riding a bike on a paved surface ,let alone dirt track type terrain.need to take a younger person(my grandson) and let him try it....then I'll get a better idea. Besides it's better than a condo along the waterfront...PUBLIC ACCESS!!!

★★★★★ — Jim, Sep 2019

…It was pretty empty when we went, so even I got to use the kids track - it’s harder than it looks (for a novice) but a lot of fun! We tried out the trail rides as well and it was so awesome that there were different skill levels. Whole family had a great time we look forward to returning.
