The Hellyer Park Velodrome was built in 1962. Originally asphalt, now Chem-comp, the track is 336 meters long with a 22.5 degree banking.
The riding season at the Hellyer Park Velodrome runs from March through September. The track is lighted, so many events happen at night. There are instructional sessions, as well as racing nights and sprint tournaments.
From the NorCal Velodrome Association (NCVA) website:
The Hellyer Park Velodrome is located in Hellyer County Park and is administered by the NCVA. The velodrome may only be used during a session attended by a designated track supervisor recognized by the NCVA. Supervisors unlock the facility as needed at the start of a session, collect day use fees, enforce existing use rules and manage traffic for safety and effective training, and lock the facility at the end of their sessions.
All open training sessions are open to all riders. The supervisor at any training session has the responsibility to make sure that the session is held in a safe manner, and that all riders in any given session can ride on the track together safely. In addition, the scheduled session for any time frame has precedent over any unscheduled session.
The cost to ride on the track for training is $5.00 per day. In addition, Hellyer County Park charges $6.00 per day per motor vehicle entry.
Rain cancels all track sessions.
