The Wellington Bike Park is OPEN! Get out there, have fun, and remember the #1 rule of riding: 👉 Pre-ride 👉 Re-ride 👉 Then freeride 😎 Take a lap, check your speed, learn the features, and keep it fun for everyone. Heads up: the Wellington Bike Park will temporarily close at the end of May for a couple of days to complete its annual tune-up, including reshaping features, dialing in berms, and compacting loose dirt so it’s riding great all season long. Stay tuned for closure dates and updates! 🤘

*Trail Closure - Lower French Creek* The lower half of the French Creek Trail (from the intersection with Corkscrew to HWY 9) is closed for maintenance. We are aiming to have the work wrapped up by May 15th, though we may be able to open it sooner if the weather and conditions cooperate.
