Joyride 150 Closing its Doors to Mountain Bikers and BMXers: Canada’s Premier Indoor Pickleball Destination Coming Soon
Joyride 150, the iconic indoor bike park in Markham, is closing its doors to mountain bikers and BMXers this fall to make way for Canada’s premier indoor pickleball destination. The decision has sparked mixed reactions among the riding community, with some expressing sadness over the end of an era and others welcoming the new racquet sport facility.
Since its opening in 2009, Joyride 150 has been a popular destination for riders across Canada, offering a wide range of riding terrain and facilities. The park’s closure marks the end of a historic chapter for Canadian bike riders, with many reminiscing about the memories and experiences they have had at the facility.
While some riders are disappointed by the news, others see it as an opportunity for a new recreational activity to take center stage. Local racquet sports enthusiast Doug Simmons, for example, has been advocating for more pickleball courts in the region for years and sees the closure of Joyride 150 as a positive development.
Regardless of the differing opinions, today’s date will go down in history as a significant day for Canadian bike riders. The closure of Joyride 150 serves as a reminder of the impact the facility has had on the riding community and the memories it has created for riders of all ages and skill levels.
