On Saturday, April 12, at 12:00, the opening of the newly built bike park will take place in Reņķa Garden, where everyone, regardless of age and experience, will be able to find a suitable track for themselves. The design of the Ventspils bike park is special and unique in that this will be the first such two-level track in Europe and the third in the World. This is the beginning of a new pumptrack era, setting a new challenge bar for future tracks and bike parks.

At the opening event, Latvia's top inline skaters, led by Nils Jansons, will participate in demonstration performances, along with skateboarders Juris Šantars and Kārlis Purvens, BMX freestyle riders Kristians Špons and Arturs Virdzinieks, and representative of the Ventspils Olympic team, Tomass Grīnbergs. Visitors will also be able to watch the best participants of the BTA Pumptrack Championship, including two-time winner Anatolijs Bervjačonoks. After the demonstrations, the track will be open to everyone interested.

The Velopark features three zones with tracks designed for different age groups and means of transport such as bicycles, inline skates, skateboards, and scooters:
- The northern track - suitable for beginners and children.
- The large southern track - features various hills, trick areas, a double turn, and a ride-through tunnel. The track is designed to reduce the risk of collisions.
- The adventure track "BTA Velizinis" - modular elements imitate obstacles found in urban environments (stairs, potholes, curbs), helping beginners to develop riding skills.
