The Bike Skills Park at Cedar Lanes Park is nearing completion! The three skills areas include a Drop-Zone with four “drops” of varying difficulty and a one-way return track. The second skills area includes Skinnies for riders to practice bike control and maneuvering through technical terrain. The final skills area is a jump track that offers a series of jumps and tabletops for varying skill levels and a pump trail to practice technical maneuvering over rollers and berms. The final element of this phase of the skills park is the flow track that is a dirt, single track that flows through the park outside the existing paved pedestrian track.
In addition to the programming that is offered at the bike park, the skills park is open to the public to ride and enjoy during regular park hours. The bike park is a unique amenity in our Park system. Mountain Biking offers people of all ages an exciting sport that promotes healthy activity and social emotional learning, leadership development and environmental stewardship. Let’s ride!
Summer programming will be offered at the park beginning at the end of June with summer camp offerings, field trips and a twice weekly free program, Summer Ride at Cedar Lanes.
Summer Ride will offer drop-in instruction and activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-4pm, July 11-August 17. This free program is offered in partnership with Cycle Therapy Racing and is open to youth of all ages; bikes and helmets will be available for check-out. Staff will be on hand to provide instruction and programming for youth ages 2.5 and up.
A daily sign-in is required and a parent or guardian must remain on site.
The Parks and Recreation Department has partnered with Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance for construction of the bike park.
PHASE ONE included the Mountain Bike dirt track and trails and Skills Zones.
PHASE TWO will include construction of an asphalt pump track, a restroom facility and a picnic shelter. (see below for a rendering of Phase Two).
