The project started in 2011 when the Whitecourt Mountain Bike Association (WMBA) formed and dreamt of a Bike Park. Recognizing the interest and benefits it would bring, the Club outreached extensively to garner support and funding from the Town, Government, FRIAA & local business.

 

In 2016, the Club worked with Jay to develop a comprehensive Bike Park design for all skill levels and based on community input with the 11 ha project implemented in phases with diverse range of riding opportunities, and linking to existing trails and facilities.

 

Phase 1 in 2017 saw integrated Start Hill and Wood Drops features taking riders into Progressive Jumps and Gap Line Series. Riding trails were also built through the woods with multiple boardwalks and Town connections. Phase 2 in 2019 saw the addition of expert Bmx Style Jumps and intermediate Flow Jump Trail.

 

Onward to 2026, Hoots continued in planning and development and with the Club securing substantial funding and sponsorships, the wood-rock skills area and elevated complex were completed alongside expansive paved pump track!

 

The project is an incredible Club & community-driven endeavour with enthusiastic locals and volunteers coming out to help support and maintain the amazing Bike Park and Trails!
