Who signs the waiver?
Every rider, online, once each season. Riders under 18 sign the minor waiver with both parents or legal guardians. How the waiver works.
Who has to sign a waiver at Motopark?
Every rider, online, once each season, before they ride. Riders under 18 sign the minor waiver online with both parents (or legal guardians), and have to have an adult with them when they check in. See the waiver page.
Can a grandparent or family friend sign the waiver for my child?
No. Only parents or legal guardians can sign for a rider under 18: the minor waiver is signed online by both parents (or legal guardians) and the rider. After that, the rider can check in without you, as long as an adult is with them at registration.
Can I sign the Motopark waiver online?
Yes, and only online. Our insurance requires an online waiver, so there’s no paper version at registration. Sign it on the waiver page before you come, once each season; it takes under five minutes on a phone.
Do I sign the waiver every time I ride?
No. Sign the online waiver once each season. Then every rider signs the day ride sheet at registration each day they ride.
Do I need a separate waiver to race at Motopark?
Yes. Races have their own event waiver. For the MP Cup, every rider signs the event waiver online, returning riders included, before collecting an MPC helmet sticker. See the MP Cup entry details for the current event-waiver information.
Do I have to sign in when I get to Motopark?
Yes. Every rider stops at registration and signs in before parking or riding, every day. Skipping it can add a fee to your day ride.
How do day rides work?
If you ride your own bike, you need a membership, and a day ride is the pay-as-you-go way to ride. Renters don’t need one, and a 2-hour lesson on your own bike covers that day. Prices and how it works are on the Ride page.
Do I need to race to ride at Motopark?
No. Open practice welcomes recreational riders as well as racers. Bring your own suitable dirt bike, membership, waiver and full gear, then choose a riding area appropriate to your ability and current access.
What do I need for my first day of riding at Motopark?
Bring your bike and full riding gear, sign the waiver, and arrange a membership and day ride. Check hours and closures before travelling, then stop at registration before parking or riding. Every rider signs in every day. Riders under 18 must follow the minor waiver instructions for parent or legal guardian signatures and have an adult with them at registration.
How much does a day of riding cost at Motopark?
A day ride is $39.82 + HST. On your own bike you also need a membership, so your first day is the day ride plus the day ride membership, Sale price $38.94 Regular price $48.67 + HST, which is good for 365 days. After that it’s just the day ride. Renting? You don’t need a membership: rentals have their own prices, on the dirt bike rentals page. Riding often? A pass or a membership costs less per day.
When is the track open for practice?
Practice hours vary by season, with weather and event closures taking priority. See the current seasonal hours and closure dates, then check today’s status before leaving. Race weekends are closed for practice; on Mini Series days the main track stays open during normal hours.
Can I practise at Motopark on a race weekend?
No. The track’s closed for practice, rentals and lessons on race weekends. MP Mini Series days are different: the main track runs practice as usual, and the mini track closes while the minis race, then reopens. Race dates are on the season schedule.
Can kids ride on practice days, and does a parent need to be there?
Yes. The mini track is primarily for mini riders. Mom or Dad may ride alongside their mini rider at the child’s speed. Absolute beginners may also use the mini track at its pace. Anyone blasting past the kids will be asked to leave. Under-18s need the required parent or legal guardian waiver signatures and an adult with them at registration.
Can I ride a dirt bike on the Motopark trails?
Yes. Dirt bikes and motocross bikes are now welcome in Motopark’s trail system. Ask at registration which routes are open, where to enter and which areas suit your rider. Follow posted signs and staff directions.
Can I camp and ride at Motopark?
Yes. Primitive camping is $26.55 + HST per vehicle, per night, first come, first served. Day riding and membership fees are separate. Showers, washrooms and water fill stations are on site. Check practice closures before planning your stay. See camping details.
Is the BMX area free to use?
Yes. The BMX area is free to use. Sign the waiver before riding and check in for directions. This is separate from paid dirt-bike and motocross riding.

Can I get a refund on a day ride?
Usually not. Day rides for open practice aren’t refunded, though there are some exceptions, so ask at registration.
Can I ride at Motopark if I don’t have a dirt bike?
Yes: rent one. We rent Yamaha TT-R trail bikes, and YZ race bikes for experienced riders, sized to the rider. Most riders take a package: the bike, gear and the rental track pass in one price. Renters don’t need a membership. Send a request from the dirt bike rentals page and we’ll confirm.
Which membership or pass should I get?
That comes down to how often you ride. The memberships page compares the day ride membership, the 5-ride pass, and individual and family memberships.
Do I need a membership to ride at Motopark?
Yes, if you ride your own bike. The cheapest way in is the day ride membership, Sale price $38.94 Regular price $48.67 + HST, good for 365 days; then you pay for each day you ride. The 5-ride pass includes the membership, and the individual and family memberships cover unlimited practice riding. Renters don’t need one, and a 2-hour lesson on your own bike includes that day’s membership and riding.
Does a day ride membership include a day of riding?

How long is a Motopark membership good for?
365 days from the day you buy it, not the calendar year. That goes for the day ride membership, the 5-ride pass and the individual and family memberships. Rides left on a 5-ride pass don’t disappear when it runs out: they come back when you renew.
Who does a family membership cover?
Three riders from the same household, with unlimited practice riding for 365 days. Each extra rider from the household is $221.24 + HST.
Does a Motopark membership include camps, lessons or rentals?
No. Motopark memberships and passes are for practice riding. The day ride membership has separate daily riding fees; the 5-ride pass includes five days; individual and family memberships include unlimited practice on open days. Camps, lessons, rentals, camping and race entry have their own arrangements and fees. See Motopark rates.
Can I ride all year with a Motopark membership?
No. Your membership is valid for 365 days from purchase, but riding is only available on open practice days. Practice is closed on race weekends and normally from November to March, apart from any announced bonus opening. Check practice hours and closures before travelling.
Do I need a membership to camp or store my trailer at Motopark?
Not to camp. Primitive camping is first come, first served: pull in, then pay at the office or the café, and if you arrive late, check in the next morning. Winter trailer storage is for Motopark members. The details are on the camping and trailer storage pages.
How do I buy a Motopark membership?
Online before you come, or at registration when you sign in. Pick the membership or pass on the memberships page, add the rider’s details and check out.
Can I rent a dirt bike and gear?
Yes: Yamaha trail and race bikes and a full set of gear, by the hour or the day. See dirt bike rentals.
How old do you have to be to rent a dirt bike at Motopark?
Rentals start from age 4 when a suitable small bike is available. Contact us to confirm small-bike availability before planning your visit. Age alone does not determine the bike: we consider height, inseam and experience, then check the fit in person. See the rental bike guide.
Can I rent a dirt bike if I’ve never ridden?
Yes, with a lesson. For new riders, including adults, we recommend a 2-hour lesson with a 2-hour TT-R trail-bike rental, riding gear and the rental track pass. A lesson of at least one hour is required for first-timers. Tell us you need a rental bike when requesting the lesson. Any extra rental time after the lesson must be arranged with us.
How much does a dirt bike rental at Motopark cost?
A two-hour Yamaha TT-R rental package is $232.70 + HST. Our recommended beginner package, a two-hour private lesson with a two-hour TT-R rental, is $343.32 + HST. Both include full riding gear and a rental track pass, per rider. First-time dirt-bike riders need a lesson. Compare all rental rates.
Do I need my own gear to rent a dirt bike?
No. A full set of rental gear is $45 + HST a day, or included in a package: helmet, goggles, jersey, pants, gloves, knee pads, motocross boots and a chest protector. Riding your own bike? You can rent the gear on its own at the same daily rate. We fit helmets and boots at the desk, so there’s no need to send sizes. Bring long socks for the boots, and an old warm sweater for cool days.
Is a YZ125 easier to ride than a TT-R230 because it has a smaller engine?
No. Engine size alone does not tell you how suitable a bike is. The Yamaha TT-R230 is a four-stroke trail bike; the YZ125 is a two-stroke motocross race bike for experienced riders. A beginner should start with a suitable TT-R and a lesson. We consider the rider’s size, clutch skills and dirt-bike experience before confirming a bike.
How do I book a dirt bike rental?
Send a request with the day, the bike and how long, and we’ll confirm by phone or email. Book ahead, a week or two if you can: our fleet is small, each bike has to be ready to ride, and there are no rentals on race weekends. On the day, arrive 20 minutes before your rental. Request a rental.
What if I need to cancel a rental, or it rains?
Cancel by email, free, as long as you tell us in good time. There’s no deposit: you pay when you arrive, by cash, debit or credit. We ride rain or shine; we stop for lightning, and close the track if it floods. If the weather’s bad on the day, we’ll move your rental free.
What happens if I damage a rental bike?
You pay for damage you cause, like bent or broken bars, levers or perches, cracked plastic or a ripped seat cover. Engine and drivetrain problems, flat tires included, are on us. Before you ride, you’ll go over the bike with our crew and sign off on its condition. Damage is settled before you leave.
Can I rent a dirt bike on a race weekend?
No, there are no rentals on race weekends. On MP Mini Series days the main track’s open as usual, but the mini track closes during the races, so ask us before you book a small bike.
Which track can I ride on a rental bike?
The main track or the mini track, depending on your riding and the size of the bike.
What size dirt bike should my child rent?
Use age and height as starting guides: TT-R50 from age 4, TT-R110 from 8, TT-R125 from 12 and TT-R230 from 14. The YZ125 is for experienced dirt-bike riders aged 14 and up. If a rider is close to an age or height boundary, discuss it with our crew; height, inseam and experience all matter. We confirm availability and check the fit before you ride. See the rental bike guide.
Can I rent a bike for a friend’s child?
Yes. Their parent or guardian has to sign the online waiver for them before you arrive, and an adult has to be with them when they check in.
What should parents know about our camps?
MP Camp is five days with coaching, meals and the bunkhouse. Tyke Camp and the two-day Vet & Racer Camp are shorter. Compare the camps.
Do parents have to stay at camp?
At Tyke Camp, a parent or guardian attends every lesson; families can camp or commute. MP Camp riders aged 6–7 must stay in their own trailer with a parent or guardian for the week. Bunkhouse accommodation starts at age 8, with counsellors overnight. Discuss arrangements directly with Motopark for MPA or a younger Vet & Racer participant.

What’s the difference between MP Camp, Vet & Racer Camp and MPA?
MP Camp is a five-day riding school with the full overnight camp experience, for beginners through experienced racers. Vet & Racer Camp is two days for vets and seasoned racers. MPA Motocross Academy is a separate race-development program, with individual weeks or the full six-week summer during camp weeks 1–6.
Where do riders sleep at camp?
It depends on the camp. MP Camp riders sleep in a bunk in the bunkhouse from age 8, with counsellors overnight, or in your own trailer on the grounds; riders aged 6 or 7 must stay in their own trailer with a parent or guardian for the week. Tyke Camp riders stay with a parent, in your own trailer, or at home if you drive in each day. MPA riders get a bunk bed or a primitive campsite. Vet & Racer Camp includes camping, and rooms are by reservation. Bedding isn’t supplied, so bring a sleeping bag and a pillow.
Are meals included at camp?
Yes, with different arrangements by program. MP Camp includes meals and accommodation. Tyke includes rider meals and a family campsite. Vet & Racer includes four meals and camping. MPA includes three daily meals and a bunk or non-serviced campsite. Parent meals and other extras depend on the program; see your selected camp’s page.

Yes. 6- and 7-year-olds can attend MP Camp if they stay in their own trailer with a parent or guardian for the week.

Summer 2027 has eight weeks, from late June to late August, each one Sunday check-in to Friday pickup, and the week picker shows every week’s dates, live from our booking system.
Is a week of MP Camp worth it for a racer?

How long has Motopark run motocross camps?
Since 1972, when Motopark opened as one of the first motocross training facilities in Canada; its record season, 2005, had 237 campers.
What do riders eat, and can you handle allergies?
Three meals a day are included. Put allergies, medication and dietary needs on the rider information form; if an allergy is serious, call us at 519-794-2434 before camp so we can talk it through. Please don’t send snacks or energy drinks.
What happens if it rains?
Camp goes ahead; the schedule shifts with the weather. Pack rain gear and a second set of riding gear if you have one.
Does my rider need their own dirt bike for MP Camp?
No. Bring your own bike if it runs well, or rent a Yamaha for the week: a TT-R for beginners ($900 + HST) or a YZ for experienced riders ($1,000 + HST), per bike for the camp week. The rental fleet is small, so ask for a bike when you book. Rentals are paid with the balance at check-in.
Can my rider do more than one week of MP Camp?
Yes. Pick the weeks together when you book: it’s one $200 deposit for each week, and each week is booked as its own camp week. The balance is paid at check-in.
What riding gear does my rider need for MP Camp?
An approved helmet, goggles, gloves, motocross boots, a long-sleeve jersey and riding pants, knee pads and long socks. A chest protector, a neck brace, rain gear and a second set of gear are a good idea. No gear? Rent it for the week: $50 + HST.
What should my rider pack for MP Camp?
Riding gear, then casual clothes for the week: T-shirts and long sleeves, a hoodie, shorts and pants, a swimsuit, running shoes and sandals, socks and underwear, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and bug spray, a towel, a sleeping bag or blanket, a pillow, toiletries and a refillable water bottle. Pack any medication with written instructions on the dose and time. Leave phones, cameras, cash and snacks at home.
Can my rider bring a phone or spending money to MP Camp?
We’d rather they didn’t. Phones and electronics stay home, and Motopark isn’t responsible for anything lost or damaged. Riders don’t need cash either: snacks, minor parts and small items go on their tab, and we call you first before anything major.
Can friends or siblings be in the same group?
Usually, yes. Add the request in the comments when you register and we’ll do our best to put them together.
Can parents eat or stay at camp?
Yes. Parents can join the riders’ meals, camp free on a non-serviced site, or stay in hotel-style room 1 or 2 at half price a night while their rider is at camp. The bunkhouse is for campers during camp weeks; on a Friday or Saturday night when camp isn’t running, a bunkhouse room is fine.
Is the MP Camp deposit refundable?
No, but it isn’t lost. Cancel before camp starts and the $200 deposit stays on your Motopark account as credit toward a future camp, service or product (not at MotoMech). If you’ve paid more than the deposit, we refund the rest. We usually send camp refunds by e-transfer in July or August, once camps start; cancel within a few days of booking and it goes back to your card. Once camp starts there are no refunds, though in some cases we can give credit toward a future camp. Details: refund policy.
What if my rider gets hurt?
Your emergency contacts and medical notes from the rider form are with our staff. Once camp starts there are no refunds for injury, though in some cases we can give credit toward a future camp.
Staying two weeks or more: what about the weekend?
There’s no camp staff over the weekend between weeks. Riders under 12 need a parent for it, or ask us about a weekend stay with meals, riding and a bed.
Can’t do the whole week?
Some July weeks take day riders Monday to Wednesday; ask us. We can also sometimes run a private camp for a group: tell us how many riders, their ages and levels, and your dates.
What size rental bike will my child get?
The one that fits their height and experience, not just their age. We confirm it with you before camp and check the fit at check-in. Our guide to the best dirt bikes for kids by age walks through sizes.
What if the race bike I want to rent isn’t in stock?
If the race bike you’d like to rent isn’t in stock, we may consider purchasing one for you to rent during summer camp. Contact us in advance to discuss the bike and your camp week.
Do you run private or custom motocross camps?
Sometimes, when the summer weeks don’t work. Tell us how many riders, their ages and levels, the dates you’re after, how long, and whether you need bikes or gear, and we’ll come back with a quote.
How do I book MP Camp?
Pick one week or several on the MP Camp page and pay the $200 deposit online for each week. You’ll then get a link to the rider information form; fill one in for each rider before camp. The balance is paid at check-in, with any rental bike and extras.
