How did Motopark start?
Motopark opened in 1972, one of the first motocross training facilities in Canada. Carl Bastedo, a pro racer from the early days of Canadian motocross, is one of its original founders. Read Carl’s story.
Camps have run here since that first year, and riders now come from across North America and beyond. From 1984 to 1986 Motopark hosted the FIM World Grand Prix. In 2022, our 50th year, we hosted the first round of the new FIM North America Continental Motocross Championship, and the MP Cup, our own race series, ran its 15th season.
What’s at Motopark today?
Three tracks on 100 acres, trails now open to dirt bikes and motocross bikes, and everything you need to stay for the day or the week.

- Day rides and memberships on practice days, for every level from beginner to pro.
