The BCRD opens its new BCRD Pump Park now on Friday, October 9 at 5:00PM next to the BCRD Aquatic Center in Hailey, Idaho. Pump Parks are one of the hottest amenities in recreation and the new park will add more active fun for the community to the BCRD Aquatic Center location. This will be a great place to work on biking skills, get a workout, and enjoy a wonderful view right in your backyard!
