A qualifier for the Red Bull Pump Track World Championships will headline the inaugural Langford Bikefest on the Canada Day weekend at the Jordie Lunn Bike Park.
The green space includes a 3.5-acre parcel connecting elements of the Jordie Lunn Bike Park, which is set to open on April 1, as well as 35 acres of mixed forest and rock crags on the east side of Westshore Parkway. The larger chunk of forested land will have trail connections to residential areas and a section of cliffs designated for rock climbers. “It’s one of the best spots to climb on the South Island, so to have it in a park is great news,” said Haj Bains, president of the South Island Climbers Association. “What it does is take a lot of pressure and traffic off the Mount Wells climbing area. It opens up a new area in a park and opens our sport to new climbers.”
