The BMX facility cost Шаблон:CAD to build[1][3] and features a Шаблон:Convert track in a closed loop design consisting of four straightaways, three banked turns, and multiple jumps. The track includes two start ramps; an Шаблон:Convert starting platform for professional and international competitions and a Шаблон:Convert platform for youths and beginners.[4]
The facility was originally supposed to be built at Ontario Place but was moved to Centennial Park for unknown reasons. The move faced opposition from city councillor Doug Holyday who said "We want people to come with their families [to Centennial] and be able to sit down and have a picnic. We want to be able to walk around the place without getting hit by a baseball or run over by a bike. And that's the way the place should be."[5][6]
Upon the completion of the games, the facility was opened for public use. The facility is open from dawn to dusk daily, from May 1 to October 31, and is maintained by the City of Toronto.[4]
