Dear Supporters,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm excited to share some promising news regarding our campaign to bring a pump track to Bakersfield. We have made significant progress, and now, more than ever, your support is crucial.

Meeting with City Officials

I recently received an encouraging email from the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department for the City of Bakersfield. He has expressed interest in discussing the possibility of a pump track in our community and plans to present our proposal to a committee on April 9th. This is another fantastic opportunity to make our voices heard and to push our initiative to the forefront of the city's agenda.

Your Action is Vital

Now is the time to amplify our message and ensure that the city council and the Recreation and Parks Department understand the community's strong desire for a pump track. Here’s how you can help:

1. Contact Your City Council Representative: Reach out to your local city council member and express your support for the pump track. Let them know how this project can positively impact our community, providing a safe and inclusive space for outdoor activities.  If you live in the City of Bakersfield, you can use this link to find your Council Member.
2. Email or Call Recreation & Parks Department: Directly contact the Recreation and Parks Department to show your support for the pump track. You can call the department at 661-326-3014 or email at ComPks@bakersfieldcity.us
