The Oxford Parks and Recreation Department inaugurated its latest facility, the Oxford Jump Track, with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 26, 2025. The event was attended by a significant number of cycling enthusiasts.

These new tracks offer three different lines - beginning, intermediate, and expert - with a circuit of rollers, berms, tabletops, and features designed to be ridden by using momentum from up-and-down body movements instead of pedaling or pushing.

PARD Director Don Hudson, alongside Mayor Alton Craft and members of the city council, expressed gratitude to all individuals involved in the planning and construction of Oxford’s new recreational facilities.

Members of the Oxford Mountain Bike Foundation and the Oxford High School mountain bike team, who inspired the track’s construction, stood ready to take their first jumps on the new courses after Mayor Craft gave the order, “Let’s Ride!”

The Oxford Jump Track is located on the grounds of the Oxford Lake and Civic Center complex on Recreation Drive and is open from sunrise until sunset.

The track is now open to the public, who are advised to wear appropriate protective clothing and adhere to the posted safety protocols.
