What is a Bike Park?
A bike park is a dedicated space that is purpose built for bike related activities that allow new and experienced bikers to hone their skills. These spaces don't need to be a certain shape and don't have an official size requirement, they can be worked into almost any space and often times co-exist with other park amenities like, skate parks, basketball courts, and ball fields. Bike parks usually consist of one or more of the following elements: bicycle playgrounds, pump tracks, jump lines, skills courses, and trails.
Bike parks appeal to a wide range of riders and provide family-friendly recreation while helping foster a community atmosphere in a unique outdoor setting.
Elements of a Bike Park
