Lester Bike Skills Park
Background: The Twin Ports have built a world class trail system, but it is still missing a skills development area for kids to safely learn, and groups and individuals to improve their riding in a controlled and repeatable setting.
Phase 1 to be completed in 2027 includes:
- Balance skills track
- Pump Track w/progressive multi-option features
- Beginner & intermedite drops
- Beginner to advanced rock features
Trailhead Improvements
Some of our most heavily used trailheads are missing basic infrastructure.
Locations: Lester Park Lower Trailhead (next to future bike park) & Piedmont Hutchinson
Road Trailhead
Amenities:
- Bathrooms
- Water
- Lighting
- Improved Signage
Funding
COGGS is applying for a grant to cover the majority of the cost. In order to strengthen our grant application and ensure a 2027 start date, we are fundraising a $180,000 match with $110,000 remaining to raise.
