Short loop on north end of park, great in both directions, but the optional technical trail features are best accessed going clockwise.

10/20/22 - The park replaced the rogue drops on the east side of the trail with 3 official and permanent drop features of varying heights.

10/28/22 - The park has re-graded the trail in some places to add grade reversals and reduce erosion. Volunteers (with the parks blessing) also revitalized the old BMX rollers on the east side of the loop, adding a few new larger rollers, a berm and a tabletop jump.
