USA BMX Announces New Sanctioned Track Coming to Woodford County, Kentucky
Project marks second USA BMX track in Kentucky, signaling continued national expansion and growing community engagement in the sport
USA BMX has partnered with Bluegrass Berms, Versailles-Woodford County Parks & Recreation, Woodford County Fiscal Court and the City of Versailles, Ky., to bring a brand-new USA BMX and American Bicycle Association-sanctioned track to Woodford County.
The construction of the new USA BMX facility at Woodford County Park near Falling Springs Recreation Center was approved by the Woodford County Fiscal Court.
"Working together, we can get things done." Judge/Executive James Kay said. "Thank you to the partnership with the City, Parks Board and Woodford County parents who helped make this project possible as we continue investing in safe, family-friendly recreation for our youth."
“The Versailles-Woodford County Parks and Recreation Department is thrilled to expand recreational opportunities for Woodford County residents and communities across Central Kentucky,” said Richard Pictor, executive director of Versailles-Woodford Parks & Recreation. “By working together with Bluegrass Berms and USA BMX, we are committed to creating a high-quality facility that will provide enjoyment, competition, and healthy outdoor recreation for all ages.”

This facility gives that culture a home, and gives young riders a real place to discover confidence, competition and a lifelong connection to cycling,” said Ben Marsico, board BMX chair of Bluegrass Berms. “Bringing a USA BMX track to Versailles is about creating something the community can truly grow around.”
According to USA BMX’s director of business development, Justin Travis, the Versailles project marks a major step in the continued growth of BMX racing across Kentucky. The new track would expand the sport’s presence beyond the state’s lone sanctioned track in Louisville and help create new opportunities for riders and communities throughout the Southeast.
“BMX racing continues to see significant growth nationwide, and access to quality facilities is what fuels that momentum,” said Travis. “When communities invest in a place to ride, that spark turns into something much larger and unified. These tracks serve as community gathering points and proven economic drivers....”
