ROXY’S INDOOR BIKE PARK
VISION:
Build a Premier destination indoor mountain bike/bmx park in the city of Detroit. Roxy’s will provide a secure urban riding environment where riders of all skill levels will enjoy new challenges, make new friends and have fun!
It is Roxy’s mission to recycle a vacant/ abandon structure(s) as well as utilize recycled materials to attain this goal. We feel Detroit provides the centralized location, as well as the urban, industrial energy we envision. Easy access from local freeways and lodging will be a plus for locals as well as out of town guests.
DESIGN:
Actual track, obstacle and ramp design is carried out by an award winning design team. Dirt, wood, rocks and steel! Riders from novice to expert will be afforded space and opportunity to grow at their own pace and comfort level. Featuring numerous tracks with wide range of urban-forest obstacles, jumps and elevation changes. Interior feel of Roxy’s is industrial and urban. Lots of glass (natural light), steel and sealed concrete. The urban feel is completed with graffiti and murals. Comfortable lounge areas featuring: wifi, snack bars and video games; also quiet areas for students to study. In-house bike shop will provide sales and service to customers as well as the public. The recycling of an old building sets the tone for the entire design based on reusing old material and buying recycled.
