Skills park trail. Sign is posted at entrance to warn users of features. Trail contains a ladder bridge, elevated bridges, and a long straight skinny. Other features include rock garden (that is rutted on the outer edges because XC peeps avoid it), skinny with twists and some other short elevated bridges. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

      		 One plank in the "overpass" is broken, and a small section of the last skinny is tree damaged (on the side that leads to the rock garden)
