Guide to developing and operating bike parks

Vélo Québec and the Association québécoise du loisir municipal (AQLM) present the first Guide d'aménagement et d'exploitation des véloparcs, available on the Guides Sports Loisirs platform, a portal managed by the Association québécoise du loisir municipal that aims to equip municipal recreation department staff, organizations, volunteers and other stakeholders to improve the quality of facilities and their maintenance so as to maintain an accessible, high-quality and safe range of sports and leisure activities at all times.

The only French-language guide on the subject, it is published free of charge. 

The guide is designed to better equip Quebec municipalities, as well as organizations and volunteers who manage bike parks and mountain bike trails, to make them both more attractive and safer, and even to encourage their expansion. It describes best practices in the development and maintenance of bike parks, based on the knowledge of volunteers and development professionals. This new guide is destined to become an essential reference for the development and operation of bike parks in Quebec, and indeed throughout the French-speaking world. 

To produce this guide, Vélo Québec benefited from the support of the Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur, Mountain Equipment Coop and the Mutuelle des municipalités du Québec, as well as the AQLM.
