Dominick Rufo, 16, was in middle school when he proposed the idea of a BMX-style bike park to Turlock city officials. The plan got City Council approval in February, and Dominick is more than halfway to collecting the $10,000 in private donations needed to start the park. He needs an additional $4,500.
The park, to be built near West Christoffersen Parkway and North Walnut Road, will take about three or four months to complete once the donations are collected. Volunteers will help form the short dirt tracks and jumps.
To donate, make checks payable to the city of Turlock, with “Turlock’s BMX bike park” in the memo line, and send to City Hall, 156 S. Broadway, Turlock 95380. Donors who give more than $100 can get their name on a plaque at the park. People can pick up applications at City Hall.
For more information, call Carla McLaughlin at 668-5599, ext. 4409…Â Details
