Orlando Bike Parks Work Day

On Saturday, July 10, more than 200 volunteers came out to help clean up “Area C”, the site for the proposed Orlando Mountain Bike Park. The volunteers removed debris, cleaned out brush and helped prepare the area for construction of the park. The new facility will provide an area for mountain bike riders to develop skills as well as provide bike trails of varying degrees of difficulty. The park is expected to be completed in the fall and will be located at Coy Drive and Jamie Circle.
