Louis_Nel Posted October 28, 2013 Share Hi We are planning to take back the park and restore it with a bigger track for all ages , a place for parents to take their kids on weekends, have a pick nick while the kids burn some energy and learn some skills. This is a community project and will only work if we get people involved , Please let me know if anybody is willing to take part , Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 28, 2013 Share Fountainblue?! Is that near Kloof and Botha's Hill? *pronounced like an Upper Highway resident would* But seriously, where in Fontainebleau is this BMX track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 28, 2013 Share Also, if you look on this thread you'll see that quite a few riders in and around the Randburg area are wanting a pump track... Maybe these 2 projects could merge?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydd Posted October 28, 2013 Share Patches, Fontainebleau is in Randburg. The bmx track that Volplanne is referring to is just off Rabie Road, near the intersection with Republic road across from the Woolworths centre. I think it's a fantastic idea. We used to live nearby and always wanted to ride there. We live some distance away now but would get involved where we can if we know when restoration activities are planned.

divernick Posted October 28, 2013 Share WOW! I used to ride that track back in the 80's! On my old Scorpion BMX! Cleared my first table-top there. I thought that track would have been long-gone by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
