Pretty fun. Some of the jumps have short landings so you have to get on the brakes real fast. I can’t wait to see what they add this year.
This place seems so cool! According to my son, it is awesome! He, unfortunately, did not get to experience too much of it, though. The first time he was there was with his Enduro biking team on Aug. 7, and he took a fall on a big jump. With broken collarbone, he won’t be able to revisit for at least another month. But he definitely wants to go back- and that says it all! I was very pleased to discover this cool park. Lots of time and energy has been and continues to be put into it to make it awesome for good riders. I will say, however, I don’t think it’s for the average mountain biker- unless you consider average someone who does big jumps and drops and other obstacle course type of tricky riding. And, by all means, wear a helmet and protective gear. Had he not been fully armored with a full face helmet, he would be in much worse shape. The ER doctor and nurses all said the same. It’s just not worth the risk to go without a helmet, ever.
I don’t have photos, but you can look it up on YouTube. There are several clips about the park.
Great place for riders to progress in their skills. Small skills area for beginners and kids. Great runs with green, blue and black trails. Nice pavilion and bathroom facilities. Located next to local pool and rec center.
Super fun spot to get the fundamentals dialed. Runs are super short but super good to session and spin a bunch of laps.
Great for beginners.
Only a three star rating though. Could use some work on the features and lines. Reconfiguring and cleaning up things could up the safety and fun factor for people building up skills. General maintenance is a big issue there as there seems to be barely any thought put into drainage for rain in the initial build.
Also would recommend some bigger hits but thats a personal preference.
I don’t know how bikers do it. This trail is overgrown in many places and in generally poor condition. Maybe it’s too early in the season. But I actually came here for a hike. Not a good experience. The good thing was being able to spot a LOT of deer prints. Which just goes to show how muddy it was on the day I was there. No big surprise on a bike trail after only a couple of days of dry weather. Mud I can deal with, though. Overall poor conditions, no.
