A fast flowing and great fun trail with lots of sweeping berms and occasional jumps.

You can freewheel all the way down, swooping round the berms, but you can also get some big air on the jumps. The well-sealed singletrack makes this a great place to practice your skills, but the bike park isn’t recommended for young children.
