BMX Supercross Legacy Track CAROL KLEINFELDT, KMA Architects

When the 2015 Toronto Pan Am/ Para Pan Am Legacy Track request for proposals for this project was issued, our team thought, ‘what a great opportunity to work on a large scale, sculptured landscape project!, and then thought ‘we have never done anything like this and it will be a real reach for us’, which was the best reason we could think of to try. This is play in architecture. When we had the good fortune to be awarded the project, we began our intense research and discussions with those who understood the international sport of BMX Racing and began designing, as a team, one of the most rewarding experiences of our firm’s history. This is a playground structure at an exaggerated scale that suits the large Regional park and the team of clients, architects, engineers, landscape architects, earthwork professionals, contractor, builders and BMX riders. The clock was running down and the game was on!
