Support the Eagle Bike Park
Coming this Fall 2023! The Eagle Bike Park will connect our community to the trails we love. For those of us who ride bikes, love bikes, it’s a no brainer. But for those who have never ridden, it provides a safe place to learn and build confidence. It gives intermediate and expert riders a place to progress to the next level. It will be fun, it will be huge, and most importantly it will help give everyone the ability to get out and enjoy our trails!
We heard you Eagle! Both the Mountain Rec Haymaker Area Master Plan and Town of Eagle’s Open Space & Trails Master Plan identify the bike park as a community need. So what did we do? We got it done, like we always do. It’s taken over 3 years of planning with our community partners including the Town of Eagle, Mountain Rec, Momentum Trail Concepts, Haymeadow and Hardscrabble Trails Coalition and we are rounding the last corner to the finish line.
We have over $200,000 of the $350,000 project committed and we are asking you to help us raise an additional $150,000. The bike park will be free and open to the public as long as weather permits. It will provide a safe and fun environment for our community to enjoy for generations to come. It will be a gathering place for families and friends, events, camps, and clinics so we can help everyone get outside and learn to bike!
The bike park will serve tens of thousands of riders every year. Who knows, it might just be the key to world peace (or at least a lot of fun). So come on, let’s build this park this year!

Inspiration
Pictured here are photos from the Dos Rios Bike Playground in Grand Junction. We made a site visit to the park last Fall to check out the layout, features, and user experience. Needless to say, we were blown away by the design and options!
Bike Playground
What is a bike playground (aka Skills Zone)? It’s a collection of bike-optimized features that allow children and adults to explore their abilities and have fun in an easily repeatable environment. As they negotiate the playground structures, they improve their balance, coordination, strength and bike handling skills — plus they’re outdoors and off their screens. Outdoor activities have been proven to improve mental health in people of all ages, but children especially benefit from this type of free-form, unscripted activity.
