Park City BMX shop operator Jordan Kiefer told the Park City City Council on Tuesday that volunteers and organizers have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours repairing the BMX track after repeated trespass and vehicle damage, and asked the council to consider allowing—and possibly helping to finance—a chain‑link fence around the facility.

Kiefer said the group applied roughly $5,000 of a specialized adhesive and spent about $7,000 in June on track surface improvements and equipment rentals to stabilize the surface for racers. "We have a roller. It's a nice, smooth, compacted, maintained surface... and then we have running significantly shown there on the bottom two pictures," Kiefer said, describing long ruts caused when unauthorized vehicles drive across the track. He said volunteers were at the track as late as 2 a.m. to prepare for races and that vandalism erodes volunteer morale.

The operators circulated a packet to council that included invoices and photos of the track. Councilmember George Glover thanked the volunteers and asked about fence height and estimated length; Kiefer said they anticipate about 1,500 linear feet of chain‑link fence at 6 to 8 feet tall. Council discussion focused on whether the city could assist with either permitting, installation, or financing.

No formal action was taken; the mayor said staff would follow up. "Okay. I'll, we'll we'll visit about it with staff and somebody will be back in touch with you," the mayor said.

Why it matters: Park City BMX hosts regional riders and plans to host state finals in September. Organizers said unchecked trespass threatens the facility's ability to host those events and undermines months of volunteer and financial investment.

Council context and next steps: Councilmembers expressed support for exploring options—fencing, cost estimates, and labor partnerships—and asked staff to return with cost and feasibility. The group said they may seek a mix of donated labor and private financing if the city cannot cover costs.

Additional details: Kiefer mentioned a new barrel gate, rebuilt starting hill and upgraded electronics as recent volunteer investments. The operators requested the city consider at minimum permitting a chain‑link fence and ideally helping finance installation.
