In 2011, Jay was contacted by PFS Studio – a planning, urban design & landscape architecture firm, to develop a bike facility design concept as part of the Hastings Park / PNE Master Plan which sought to transform the fairgrounds into a greater community establishment, greenspace and year-round destination. Jay collaborated with PFS Studio and consulted with the Vancouver Dirt Jumping Coalition (VDJC) to garner input and suggestions for junior and senior pump tracks.

With plans underway to implement the Master Plan, the City called on Hoots in 2014 to construct the bike facility with completion of the pump tracks and surrounding wood skills components in spring 2015 adjacent to the sports & recreation fields. On any given day, you can find riders challenging themselves on the riding features providing for a fun, engaging & attractive recreational venue.
