BSA Opens November 15!

Last week, the builders from American Ramp Company completed construction of the bike trails, jumps, and other features at the new Bike Skills Area (BSA). Join the City Council, Parks & Recreation Commission, staff, and fellow community members for a ribbon cutting and opening event on November 15!

Bike Skills Area Grand Opening

Wednesday, Nov. 15 | 3-4:30pm | Deane’s Children’s Park

If construction is complete, why can’t the BSA open now?

The City’s Parks Operations and Natural Resources teams still need to complete work to prepare the BSA to open to the community. This includes:

• Finishing construction of the new split-rail fence that will enclose the BSA on the east perimeter;
• Trimming tree branches and other minor tree work;
• Installing bike park signage; and
• Planting the vegetated buffer to separate the Island Crest Park trail and new BSA access trail next to the tennis courts.

Construction fencing will remain up while this work is underway. Thank you for your patience while City staff work to safely open the BSA for the entire community to enjoy!
