Environmental Training Center: The
Environmental Training Center (ETC) at
Prairie City SVRA was designed to teach
safe and environmentally responsible offhighway
recreation practices. The facility
consists of a classroom, two training ranges,
and a three-acre trail system landscaped
with native plants from six different California
ecosystems: desert, chaparral, oak woodland,
conifer forest, sand dune, and riparian. The
ETC building, which houses a classroom,
office and locker room, was constructed of recycled materials and uses solar panels to
provide 100 percent of its energy.
The ETC training area consists of a level dirt-riding arena and a three-acre trail system
designed to mimic natural riding conditions. Certified professional trainers use the level
training area to introduce new riders to proper riding techniques. The OHV safety training
program teaches students safe and responsible riding and allows trainers to instill respect
for the land in students while challenging them to real-life riding conditions.
Concession Store/Rentals: The Mud Mart concession at Prairie City SVRA provides day
riders with spare parts and accessories for motorcycles and ATVs, apparel and safety gear,
plus snacks and beverages.
Practice Tracks: The MX Practice Track and ATV Practice Track consist of jumps and
banked turns intended for intermediate to advanced level riders. Tracks are groomed and
watered on a semi-regular basis.
Kid’s Tracks: The Kid’s Track facility is limited to riders aged 14 years and younger. The
facility is divided into two separate tracks. The 70cc Beginner Kid’s Track is for beginnerlevel
children on motorcycles and ATVs 70cc and under. The 110cc Intermediate Kid’s Track
is for intermediate-level riders on motorcycles and
ATVs 110cc and under. Both areas are for young
OHV enthusiasts to develop riding skills under the
safety of direct adult supervision.
Motorcycle/ATV Area: There are many trails
throughout the motorcycle/ATV area. Most of the
trails in the park are beginner or intermediate with
just a few expert trails. The trails are designated as
two-way in direction.
