The Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre is a 〔(Pan Am Games BMX enthusiasts aim to jump over stereotypes )〕 BMX cycling facility at Centennial Park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that hosted BMX Cycling at the 2015 Pan American Games.〔(Cycling 2015 Pan American Games )〕 During the games the venue included temporary seating for 2,000 spectators. ==Description== Prior to its development, the site was an empty grass area next Centennial Park's baseball diamonds at the corner of Eglinton Avenue West and Centennial Park Road. The BMX facility cost $4.41 million Canadian dollars to build〔〔(Toronto 2015 Pan Am Report )〕 and features a 350 metre track in a closed loop design consisting of four straightaways, three banked turns, and multiple jumps. The track includes two start ramps; an 8 metre starting platform for professional and international competitions and a 5 metre platform for youths and beginners.〔http://www.toronto2015.org/venue/centennial-park-bmx-centre〕 The facility was originally supposed to be built at Ontario Place but was moved to Centennial Park for unknown reasons. The move did face opposition from local councillor Doug Holyday who said "We want people to come with their families (Centennial ) and be able to sit down and have a picnic. We want to be able to walk around the place without getting hit by a baseball or run over by a bike. And that's the way the place should be."〔(Toronto Deputy Mayor Rejects Proposed Pan Am BMX Site, Velodrome Still Not Confirmed )〕〔(Pan Am bike course survives challenge )〕 Upon the completion of the games, the facility was opened for public use and is maintained by the City of Toronto.〔http://www.toronto2015.org/venue/centennial-park-bmx-centre〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
