Given that people are being so whiny about the brakeless thing, it would be worth stocking inexpensive brakes and offering free installation. Yuhin posted good links on your Facebook site. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/BR407G12-Tektro+U1+Bmx+U+Brake+Adapter+Plate+Blk.aspx http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/BR407G01-Tektro+Bmx+Sidepull+Afs+Black.aspx Also, a good bike park should have clinics for the noobs. I'd love to learn how to jump! But if left without any instruction, I'll probably stick mostly to the XC, pump track and technical lines. Which, hey - FUN! Wow. That hamster wheel is sick.

Three ways I can think of: 1. Sky lights love natural light and at night you would light up the surroundings. 2. Access to the roof (on and off). This would give more climbing options. 3. Access to ground level in and out of the building. Combined with an out side ramp to the roof and option 2. You have a really cool climbing and descending options. Ultimately multi stories. When you are rolling in money because the park will be so successful you can and more floors. Think of the indoor out door possibilities then. Geoff Access to outside.

A little slope style section would be sick with some shore lines too. Don't forget dirt jumps thos are needed for sure! A bike shop with extra parts and of coarse bikes would help alot.

I ride at Industry all the time where there's a foam pit, and while its fun, its not really "multiple person" friendly. Spare room, go for it. Not much room, pack in some fun features that make the park flow. As for features, build them into lines. rollers, s-burms, fly outs, hips. like a little track to pump through and throw some style at the same time. could even throw a freelap system onto it to get some competative time trials going. Last idea, maybe a rough dh-type training loop. obviously were are lacking verticle, but you can still make something good. dont just figure "oh mtn bike loop", and build a 2 foot drop off. obviously there cant be hucks, so build something challenging. put some rock gardens, build little rough features out of 2x4s that simulate roots and rock. something like that.
