Andres Bike Park Mountain Biking Trails

Andres Park is a 25 acre property in the heart of Carpentersville, Illinois. The Park had been abandoned and not maintained for over two decades. The park had also been used as an unauthorized dump and was the scene of gang related activity. In addition, the oak trees are slowly being engulfed by invasive tree species. Following the successful deployment of a nearby trail system at Raceway Woods the Mayor of Carpentersville approached CAMBr to build a bike park at Andres Park.

Over the past several years CAMBr has built many features including a playgrounds for kids, skills areas, pump tracks, a downhill trail and a terrain park.

The park is a welcome feature to the residents of Carpentersville and also fits in with the Village's Vision of a bike friendly environment.
