This project has received great support from IMBA as well as the local bike community and promises to get lots of use from mountain bikers across the Front Range.

Phase one will include a youth area, skills-development trail and pump track—and is aimed at riders of all ages and abilities. The bike park’s location—near popular singletrack and within an existing community park—will also give great access and exposure to the sport.

COMBA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting and improving mountain biking on the Front Range—from Buffalo Creek to Coal Creek Canyon. The organization is committed to being an advocacy voice for all mountain bikers, building and maintaining trails, teaching proper trail use, and working with government on land management decisions.
