Committee History
Our committee was formed in February of 2010 to explore the possibility of building a bicycle freestyle terrain park in Essex Junction. The committee members include staff of Essex Junction Recreation and Parks department, an EJRP recreation advisory boardmember, a professional mountain bike rider and course designer, and approximately 35 community members of varying ages from grade school to adults.
What is a freestyle bike park
Freestyle bike parks contain a variety of jumps, banked turns (berms), pump tracks and wooden features that can be ridden with a freestyle mountain bike or BMX bike. These features will be built with the specific geography of the property in mind and for riders all ability levels.
Plans for the proposed park include 2 pump tracks, and several dirt jump lines ranging from beginner to expert level. The wooded section of property behind the skatepark would make for a very unique riding experience and make for a relatively low maintenance park.
Please see the photo gallery below for illustrations of typical features in a bike park.
