Confidence Begins
Where the Pavement Ends
Bicycle Playgrounds teach safe riding skills, build confident kids, and inspire healthier, more active families.
Bicycle Playgrounds:
by the American Ramp Company
Every child deserves a place to discover what they’re capable of. Bicycle Playgrounds give kids that first taste of freedom — a safe space where pavement ends, confidence begins, and lifelong habits of health and courage take root.
For over 25 years, American Ramp Company (ARC) has helped communities reimagine what play can do. With 4,000+ projects across 44 countries, ARC builds inspiring environments that teach balance, confidence, and connection — from skateparks and pump tracks to Bicycle Playgrounds.
The Why
Kids are moving less — and communities are paying the price.
Without safe, engaging places to ride, they miss lessons in balance, safety, and independence — and cities lose opportunities for connection and health.

The Solution
Bicycle Playgrounds teach balance, traffic awareness, and decision-making through play.
They’re where kids learn to fall, get back up, and grow their confidence through motion. Every feature teaches — every smile proves it’s working.
They complement existing trails and parks, offering a space for all ages to ride safely together.
