The bike park by the lake will be a place for fun, games and enjoyment that will appeal to children, young people and adults. The park is the responsibility of the Bicycle Club Walenstadt and is open to the public. A bike park offers the opportunity to improve your own skills on the bike and gain more safety. In addition to a pump track, the bike park will also include a jump line and a practice course.

After three years of preparatory work, the plans are now being implemented. Over the next four months, the bike park will be built in collaboration with local businesses. The dismantling of the existing Armasuisse combat facility began on Friday, followed by earthworks and the finishing work from around August. Volunteers are particularly needed for the finishing work, as Roger Walser, President of the Bicycle Club Walenstadt, explains: "In addition to professional support during construction, it is also important to us that we as a club create the bike park together with the young future bikers and thus turn the future park users into participants. This increases identification and supports sustainability."

Volunteers are informed about the volunteer days via the website www.bikeparkamsee.ch. In addition, construction progress is regularly documented for all interested parties.

Thanks to the generous support of the Sport-Toto-Fonds St. Gallen and the municipality of Walenstadt as well as the three main sponsors A. Käppeli AG, Bank Linth and Bergbahnen Flumserberg AG, the other sponsors and many private donors, the initiators Ivo Bürge, Katja Rupf, Marco Scheiber, Suso Untersander, Roger Walser and René Wildhaber were able to celebrate the ground-breaking ceremony on Friday, June 13, 2014 and implement the project. The initiators are also delighted to have a well-known partner from the bike industry in "CHRIS sports". The importer from Eastern Switzerland is supporting the project with the helmet brand BELL and will also equip the bike park with Qloom clothing and Race Face protectors.www.bikeparkamsee.ch
