in the News...

The Lebanon Daily News reported on the March 14, 2011 Cornwall Borough council meeting.

Cornwall Manor residents watched as citizens of the borough raised concerns about lack of funding for the police department and funding for a park rehabilitation in Rexmont.

Resident Brad Doxtater and his daughter, Madelyn, addressed the council representing the Friends of Rexmont Park, a newly formed group trying to raise money to renovate the old Rexmont carnival grounds as a community park.

"We see the park as crime prevention" Doxtater said. "We would like to see if any recreation funding is available."

Vice President Steve Lazorcik, who serves as chair of the recreation committee, said he would like to meet with Doxtater's group.

What is a Pump Track?

With Lebanon Crankers BMX track for racing, those kids need a place to practice. Kids of all ages that is! Pump Tracks are very low cost, and can build community by bringing out volunteers to dig dirt! Shape it, create it, roll it, pump it!

What is a Pump Track?

A Pump Track is a continuous loop that can be ridden on a bike without pedalling. Pump Tracks are similar in look to a BMX track but may be constructed in a smaller area.

Pump Tracks can be hand built and maintained by local riders thus developing a sense of pride and ownership. Pump Tracks involve fast cornering, jumping, pumping and skilful riding.

Basic bicycle skills, transferable across many bicycle disciplines are obtained when using a pump track. They are fantastic for beginners and experts alike.

National, World Cup and Olympic Racers have gotten their start in places like this. Some have already come from this region of the Susquehanna!

So how would a Pump Track in Rexmont as one element of improvement?
