Atv Park?

[STLBILL]

Hi everyone:

 

Has anyone ever thought of starting a privately-owned ATV park for use by the general public?

 

The only one I know by name is the Badlands in Indiana but I've heard of a couple more. I am wondering if something like this could at least pay for itself and maybe turn a bit of a profit? I am thinking $3-$5 per day/ATV with discounts for annual memberships. Perhaps free-memberships for those interested in helping periodically with park maintenance.

 

What would the ideal ATV park need?

 

Features:

 

Adult Motocross Track

Junior Motorcross Track

660-foot Dirt/Sand Drag Area.

Hillclimbs of varying degrees.

Mud Bogs

Rock Crawler / Obstacle Zone

Trails

 

Facilities:

 

Staging area with ramps for easy (un)loading.

Bathrooms (Are flush toilets necessary?)

Change House

ATV Wash area (high-pressure).

Picnic area / Camping

 

Wish List:

 

Dealership / Parts Vendor On-Site / Mechanic

Snack / Soda / Juice Vendor

 

 

What do you think? What else?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Something like that would be a great idea. But it would cost more like 15-30 dollars per day.

1. Land

2. Tolerant neighbors

3. No Environmental impacts lest you become targeted by the greenies.

4. Liability Insurance

5. A comprehensive liability waiver for each person that sets foot in your park to sign.

6. A good Lawyer

 

The big probs are going to be the tolerant neighbors, the finacials for the lawyers and insurance.

i think it would be a sweet idea if it got off the ground cause im sure alot of people would be interested in going, but i also agree with wheatchex about lawyers and insurance

yeah, and it sucks! It's cool if you've got a worked 4x4 truck. There's much better places to ride that are still free. Place we've been going just got shut down pretty good though 2 weeks ago because some kids decided to smash all the windows of the heavy equipment for the coal mining. It's alright, still other places to go.

 

Tower City is a little less rocky to ride, but those private parks are getting so damn expensive nowadays.

 

If you could get a camping area going, and a waiver that if anything happens you cant sue, bathrooms, and a powerwasher would be nice. Showers would also be really nice.

Sounds like a great idea and worth 30.

Hi D34:

 

Two hours south must be real close to Saint Joe state park? Please let me know if you can find the name. I am pretty good at using computers and the 'Net. If you can get a name and it's on the 'Net I can probably do the rest.

 

 

Regards,

Bill
