The Community Bike & Active Gear Swap is a free, donation‑first community event created to help children get access to bikes and outdoor gear before the summer.
Families are invited to bring gently used items their children have outgrown and share them with others, pick up something that fits their child now, or simply donate to support kids in the community.
Eligible items include children’s bikes of all sizes, scooters, skateboards, roller skates or skating shoes, helmets, and similar active gear.
Participation is open to all families, including those who don’t have items to bring.
Event Details
