Port St. Lucie's First Regional Park Is Being Built Around a Track for Every Kind of Wheel

The park taking shape near the Fern Lake Roundabout, at the end of Tradition Parkway, has a BMX facility as its signature feature. The City's plan for it includes a sanctioned race track, a pump track, an RC drag strip and a children's traffic-safety course, all open to skateboards, skates, scooters, adaptive cycles and remote-control cars. Of everything Port St. Lucie is building at Tradition Regional Park, the BMX complex will probably draw the widest mix of people.
The City of Port St. Lucie calls PSL BMX "the first facility of its kind in the United States and internationally," built to combine traditional racing with what it calls all-wheels adaptive programming. If you live on the west side, here's what that means once the gates open, and why "soon" has taken longer than first planned.
The City lists four built pieces at the facility, at 13120 SW Tradition Parkway. Each one is laid out for more than one kind of rider.
| Feature | What the City describes | Who it's built for |
|---|---|---|
| Race track | 1,100 feet, USA BMX-sanctioned, adaptive surface | BMX racers, plus open Alt-Cross races for other gear |
| Pump track and jump line | Square-timed, competition grade | Riders who want laps and timed runs |
| RC drag strip | 1/10 scale, a quarter mile long | Electric remote-control car hobbyists |
| Bicycle safety and learning area | A small streetscape with crosswalks and stop signs | Young children learning to ride |
The approved list of wheels covers bicycles, skateboards, inline skates, quad skates, scooters, electric RC cars and adaptive cycles. So a sixth grader on a scooter, a parent on inline skates and a rider on a hand cycle can all use the same facility. The programming is built the same way. Besides USA BMX-sanctioned racing, the City plans Alt-Cross, open-access racing for "alternate implements" such as skateboards, skates, scooters, RC vehicles and adaptive cycles.
The kids' area gets less attention than the race track, but it may be the part most families use. CBS12 reported in March 2026 that it's planned as a small street grid where children practice crosswalks, stop signs and other traffic features. A child can learn there before riding on real streets in Tradition.
Sanctioned races could easily take over a facility like this. The City's program list says otherwise. It includes age-range skill clinics, after-school programs, summer camps, open-access riding sessions, special events, visiting professional clinics, and free Sunday open access.
That free Sunday matters. Anyone who wants to try the pump track on a skateboard, or take a young rider over for an afternoon, won't need a membership first. Race schedules, rider programs and memberships will run through the PSL BMX page on the USA BMX portal, which the City names as the place for event calendars. The City is also recruiting BMX track volunteers and offering sponsorships, including naming rights for parts of the facility.
City Council records describe the USA BMX partnership as a way to bring in programming and sanctioned events, possibly including state and national competitions. On those weekends the crowds would come from outside Port St. Lucie. On the other days, the program list shows a facility planned mainly for neighbors.
The project has been in the works for a while. The City's PSL BMX page says USA BMX first talked with the City in spring 2022, during a feasibility study. In its 2024 construction announcement, the City described the park itself as a partnership with Mattamy Homes. The USA BMX announcement of the facility names Action Sports Design as the park designer and ABA Ethos as lead on the specialty racing and riding surfaces.
The City Council's contract record shows the build in two steps:
The money for the whole park comes from three places: the City's Parks Capital Improvement Projects budget, St. Lucie County, and Mattamy Homes, according to the City's Port St. Lucie at Play StoryMap, published October 7, 2026.
The opening date has moved more than once.
The City hasn't announced a grand-opening date. The late-2026-to-early-2027 window is an estimate. If you want to be at the first open session, the USA BMX track page and the City's park page are the places to watch.
The BMX complex is the first feature people will notice, but it shares the site with a regular sports park. According to the StoryMap, Phase I adds four lighted baseball and softball fields, one lighted field for soccer, football and other games, and three unlighted multipurpose fields.
The City's longer-term plan for the park lists a possible dog park, space for food trucks and art events, disc golf and an adventure playground. On the quieter side, it lists nature trails, observation areas and a canoe and kayak launch. The City calls several of these "potential," so treat them as plans, not promises.
The City has a second regional park in progress. The Torino Regional Park page describes 195 acres. Phase I includes a nature-themed playground, a splash pad, pickleball courts, covered basketball courts, pavilions, walking and biking trails, open green space, and a future skate park whose design will draw on public input.
City sources give two different finish dates. The Torino park page estimates December 2027. The October 7 StoryMap says June 2027. Tradition has already moved from end-of-2025 to late 2026 or early 2027, so the later Torino date is probably the safer one to plan around.
Together, the two parks will give the city a planned BMX and all-wheels complex at Tradition and a future skate park at Torino. Port St. Lucie's skateboarders, scooter riders and young cyclists will have more places built for them than they've had before.
