The new bike facility provides a fun and exciting riding area that expands upon local recreation opportunities. Completed in fall 2025, the Hoots crew worked with the Town to finalize project details, source local materials, and integrate with the All-Wheel Park and concrete skate zone within a 0.3 acre space. Above are a few quick shots with action footage to come!

 

Leading up, a survey was carried out and funding / sponsorship secured. Then after presenting in summer 2025, the Hoots design was given the go ahead by Town Council recognizing its responsive and dynamic layout with "broader range of features intended to challenge more advanced riders while still offering elements for newcomers” (B. Kerton - Town & County Today, 2025). 

 

The facility, completed ahead of schedule and under budget with riders immediately jumping on to shreddy it up, offers a range of beginner to advanced technical wood-rock and dirt components - from low lying boardwalks, rock ramps and rollovers to elevated ladders, rock bridges, log rides, teeter and skinnies.

 

Alongside re-purposing and retrofitting playground equipment, a signature beam box piece originated by the Baia family (of the famed Baia Brothers Trials Team back in the day) was incorporated focusing on bike-trials stability and control, and proving to be quite the hit!

 

Indeed, the Bike Skills Area creatively brings together unique elements and forms inspired by nature, and enabling folks to practice their bike handling and navigation, balance and coordination!
