BMX (Bicycle Motocross)
Bicycle Motocross racing is a great competitive activity for all ages. Opened in 1974, the Waterford Oaks Bicycle Motocross track is one of the oldest continually-operated tracks in the world. The .25-mile championship Waterford Oaks track hosts practices, local, state and national races and competitions, with helmet and bike rentals available.
Racing season typically includes practice days on Tuesdays and single points race days on Thursdays and Saturdays. Special events are also scheduled throughout the season.
The Waterford Oaks BMX track is operated by the Waterford Oaks Parent Volunteer Association and all practices and races are coordinated by the association.

Waterford BMX celebrates record-breaking season
The 2025 racing season was a record-breaking one for Waterford BMX with the popular racetrack capturing Michigan’s top spot in the annual BMX track rankings. In addition, it ranked second in the North Central region and second overall in the nation.
BMX tracks are evaluated annually and ranked according to rider participation, membership numbers, event successes and other metrics as compiled by USA BMX.
In addition, Waterford BMX placed fifth in the annual USA BMX Race for Life fundraising campaign. Volunteers, racers and their families raised thousands of dollars for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Race for Life began with Todd Kingsbury, a young Waterford Oaks BMX enthusiast who was diagnosed with leukemia. In the years since, Race for Life has grown into an inspiring annual fundraiser, with thousands of riders across North America joining the efforts to help others like Todd.
