Big Sky Bike Park Approved

1/8/2019

On January 2, 2019, the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners voted 2-1 to approve the Big Sky Bike Park moving forward. A huge thanks to everyone who attended public meetings and spoke out in favor of the bike park, and/or wrote letters of support. Showing up makes a difference!

COTA has been an advocate of the bike park from the very beginning, working with BRPD staff at every step of this process. We are excited to see additional biking experiences become available to central Oregonians and visitors alike. This includes adding a slopestyle riding course (a type of riding not allowed on USFS lands), skills courses, and an overall great place for kids and families to ride mountain bikes and provide additional winter riding options for those riders who don't fat bike or ski.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for reaching out. BPRD is in the process of or just recently put the whole bike park project, which includes roads, parking lots, rest rooms, picnic areas, etc. out to bid to general contractors. That period will close soon. Once the GC is selected, they will put the bike park portion out for subcontractor proposals. BPRD would like to begin construction asap, with the ambitious goal of having some of it open late 2020/early 2021.

We're hoping for the best!

-Kelly
