Creating summer biking adventures for kids
ParkYDs (although the “YD” stands for youth development, it’s pronounced as “park kids!”) is a community-based summer biking program that provides safe, inclusive, and educational experiences on the trails and paths in the Seward and Longfellow neighborhoods.
About ParkYDs
Designed for kids ages 5–11, ParkYDs is a community-based summer biking program that provides adventures via bike throughout Minneapolis’ Seward and Longfellow neighborhoods.
The goal: help kids build confidence, bike skills, and a love for outdoor adventure with friends.
Whether your child is just getting started or ready to take their biking to the next level, our mentored youth coaches meet them where they are—literally and developmentally.
Each session emphasizes skill-building, independence, and teamwork in a supportive, fun environment. There are a variety of mini-sessions and camps available.
Summer 2026 ParkYDs programming coming soon—stay tuned!
Empowering femme riders
Although our Devo Team is currently the only program that includes femme-only options, we promote and celebrate femme participation throughout our organization, including within ParkYDs.
NCYD Femme Definition: A welcoming space centered on female identity and community. Our femme-only programs and events are open to individuals who identify as female, non-binary folks, allies, and anyone who wants to be part of a female-focused environment.
