This motorcycle park sat in Jackson Township on Route 26, just south of Ennisville. Gary R. and Jean Young owned it with William M. Peacock, all three from State College. Residents of Cumminsville and Altoona sued over the noise. One of them said that along with a hill climb, a motocross course and an oval, the park had a motorcycle drag strip in 1971, and that it had run five motocross events and four drag races between November 1970 and March 1971. In April 1971 the court ordered the park closed for good.
