Travels took us to the Prairies of Alberta in 2012 - lucky for us we were able to get our hands on a whole bunch of dirt! We transformed a flat field into a super rad park that has it all - jumps of every size, flow, pump tracks, skills area and a trials area. This Bike Bark was made possible because of a core group of locals who had a vision for their community.

We are proud to have worked with Strathcona County and the Strathcona Bike Association throughout the design and build of this project. Big thanks to the local bike shop Mud Sweat & Gears for their continued support!

 

The Bike Skills Park is a great example of developing park space that can bring together neighbourhoods and create an amenity for multiple user groups, including bike riders, dog walkers, runners and people that simply want to watch! An otherwise empty field is now home to a professionally designed and built Bike Park that includes dirt, wood, rocks and trees that create a natural feeling park in the middle of a bustling city.
