We're Pumped Up for the New Flight Deck!

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: MoVal Gears Up for the New Flight Deck Bike Park!

On Tuesday, January 14, the City of Moreno Valley held a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off the construction of the Flight Deck Bike Park.

The Flight Deck Bike Park will be Southern California’s largest pump track, featuring an adaptive track for riders of all abilities, with asphalt jump lines, and an asphalt bicycle playground for young riders. Adding a touch of magic, a 1,000-foot connecting path will incorporate Ambient Glow Technology, where sunlight-charged glow rocks light up the trail after dark—a first for Southern California!

The site, with a targeted completion date of late 2025/early 2026, will also include ample parking, energy-efficient lighting, and public restrooms.

Pet of the Week: Lawson

Our Pet of the Week is Lawson, a six-year-old, male, white and black Pit Bull mix.

Lawson - or 'Awesome Lawson' as we like to call him, is a tremendously sweet boy with a gentle demeanor and a loving, protective nature. He's just as happy going on a hike as he is cuddled up on the couch with a stuffed toy and his favorite person.

If you would like to make Lawson or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter part of your family, please contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit www.moval.org/pets.
