The Minot Park District, in partnership with Minot Local Motives, has announced the return of bumper cars to the Maysa Arena.

Previously used on ice, the bumper cars now are equipped with wheels designed for concrete, making them perfect for summer fun. A bumper car event will take place on July 30, from 4-7 p.m. on the Eck Rink at the Maysa Arena. During the summer months, the ice is removed from the Eck Rink.

For just $10 per person, participants can enjoy a 15-minute session of spinning and bumping with friends and family. This is a family event, but riders ages 2-5 must ride with an adult for safety.

Pre-registration is required, and spots are limited. Registration can be done on the Minot Parks website.

“Local Motives purchased the bumper cars to bring more winter fun to Citizens Alley, and we’re excited to see them in action this summer through our partnership with the Minot Park District. We recently added wheels designed for concrete, allowing the community to enjoy the bumper cars even when there’s no ice. Thanks to local sponsors, donors, and this partnership, it’s another way we’re collaborating to create year-round fun in Minot,” said Jessica Ackerman, executive director, Local Motives.
