NORTH PLATTE, NE - 308 BMX came to be in 2016 and had some mementom in North Platte to build a BMX facility that would host local, state and national events, then came 2020 and those plans came to a hault.
Now jump to 2022. The City of North Platte approached 308 BMX with an alternative location that would better suit the needs of the organization as well as utilize some under used city property. The 5 acre plot that currently is home to the Happy Hound dog retreat will be the new home of 308 BMX and the community pump track. The City will work on relocating the dog park to a portion of Cody Park across the road.
Derek Beck with the POST sat down with 308 BMX organizer Brandon McCook and talked about the planned BMX track and community pump track that is planned in North Platte. North Platte Giving Day is May 3 and with community giving support McCook thinks the organization will be close to their financial goal and able to break ground on the pump track soon if funding comes through.
