Coaldale Mountain Bike Park is ready to ride

-

Get your helmets on and your bikes ready – Coaldale’s brand new, state-of-the-art mountain bike park is ready to ride!

“The mountain bike park is family-friendly and accessible to all ages and skill levels,” said Russ Tanner, Director of Recreation and Community Services at the Town of Coaldale.

“We’re ecstatic that constructi­on on the park could start and finish this summer – Bike Track Ltd. did a tremendous job delivering on this incredible new community amenity!”

The mountain bike park features 3 loop trails, 3 jump lines, and 2 pump tracks. Once fully completed, the park will also have a picnic shelter, donated by the Kinsmen Club of Coaldale, and well as public bathrooms shared with the Owl’s Nest Campground and a bike repair station donated by Ascent Cycle.

“Growing up in Coaldale as a child, getting into biking and now sharing my love of biking with my son, all I can say is this bike park is perfect for families,” said Cody Belter, Coaldale Mountain Bike Park Working Group member. “Everything is well-placed and well-built. I have ridden a lot of skill-building bike parks all over Alberta and BC and all I can say is this one checks off so many boxes of fun! The Coaldale Mountain Bike Park is great for all ages and skill levels. Be sure to bring a helmet, start small and work your way up.”

The mountain bike park officially opens on September 10 with a grand opening to follow in spring 2022 once the amenities are fully constructe­d.
