What riders say

Joliet MX (Joliet Motorsports Park) is a 44-acre motocross complex in Wilmington, IL, just west of I-55 and within easy reach of the Chicago metro. The facility packs several distinct riding areas onto one property: a full outdoor motocross track on roughly 20 acres, a tighter supercross-style track, and one of the largest peewee tracks in the Midwest, so families and groups of mixed skill levels can all ride the same day. Lights on the peewee and SX tracks even open up night riding.

Riders and the operator consistently emphasize how seriously the dirt is prepped: the main track runs a sand, black-dirt, and sawdust mix with serious drainage built in, and the crew runs multiple tractors and water trucks, spending most of the day grooming before open practice so conditions stay tacky rather than muddy. The track only opens when the dirt is right, which keeps the riding surface high quality. With a regular four-day-a-week practice schedule, on-site training, races, and rentals for private lessons and parties, it is a well-run, rider-friendly destination for the region.
