Fruita Bike Park Renovations Begin September 19, 2022, with a Full Closure of the Park.
September 13, 2022
The City of Fruita Bike Park located at 280 Clements Way in Fruita, Colorado will be closed to the public starting Monday, September 19, 2022, for renovations. The Bike Park was originally constructed in 2014, by Singetrack Trails and includes dirt jumps, beginning and intermediate pump tracks, and a bike repair workstation. Over the years, the park has seen high utilization and wear to the park’s features as well as erosion from the weather.
The City of Fruita is partnering with Singletrack Trails for this project and their trail building team will oversee the renovation of the park. The project includes reworking and adding new additions of hard-surface metal/wood jumps to the existing dirt jumps as well as significant modifications and improvements to the park’s skills area. Overall, the project will add 21 new metal/wood jump features and a complete renovation of the park. Singletrack Trails is hoping to make this bike park a showcase property bringing some innovative lines and designs with new products. These additions will allow Singletrack Trails to showcase its products locally and create an amazing product for the Fruita Bike Park. The project will provide a more durable and longer-lasting set of features and make it more attractive to the users of the bike park.
“The Fruita Bike Park is a place where kids and families can quickly access mountain biking trails to practice skills in a controlled environment. We are excited to bring updated features to this highly utilized park.” – Marc Mancuso, Parks and Recreation Director
The project is budgeted at $50,000 and is funded by Conservation Trust Funds and the Parks, Open Space, and Trails impact fees. The project is expected to be complete by the end of October 2022. The City of Fruita and Singletrack Trails ask the community to please respect the closure so crews can work safely and efficiently to get the construction done and the Bike Park back open to the public. The City of Fruita is excited to see the Bike Park renovated for the community to enjoy.
