RIDING LOCATION

The Meridian OHV Park is located in an area bordered by Highway 45 Bypass on the West, the Meridian Police Department/Homeland Security Training Facility on the North, and Lakeview Golf Course on the South and East. Some boundaries in our park also border privately owned land.
All Meridian OHV Park boundaries are clearly marked boundary signs. Some boundaries that have become problem area have boundary signs and orange fencing. It is critical that all MMA members respect theses areas. If you are unsure of these boundaries, please contact an MMA board member for clarification before entering.
The Meridian Police Department/Homeland Security Training Facility is our most critical boundary. There is now a clear cut lane the width of a road cut between the park and the training facility. This lane also has boundary sings. This lane is the boundary and must not be crossed.
The Meridian Police Department/Homeland Security Training Facility has a live firing range that is active 7 days a week. The firing range is used for training during the week and it is used by the Meridian Gun Club on the weekends. This range includes a high powered riffle range that is often used for Sniper and SWAT training. If you are unsure of designated riding area, please contact an MMA board member for clarification!
