I would like to see a larger portion of the park dedicated to a bike park similar to the one included in the photos in the presentation (The Railyard in Rogers, AK).

Larger portion of the space should be dedicated to a bike park and multi use bike trails. It seems that too much thought is being put into the bike park having to be an isolated portion. The bike park and bike trails can be intertwined through the entirety of the space. Bikers love nature, the trails can be weaved throughout the desired nature scape as well.

I, too, would like to see a larger area dedicated to a professionally planned bike park. A bike park is not a singular amenity but a consortium of several unique amenities that can include pump tracks, jump lines, skill trails/zones, and terrain parks. Each of these amenities requiring their own dedicated space. It will help to think of a bike park as 3-4 different amenities and not just one.

Traditional mountain bike trails can be implemented parallel to the paved hike and bike trail and on both sides, creating a loop experience. These trails could also double as the skills trails/zones. To minimize intersections with the paved trail, fly-overs (bridge features) could be built to take the mountain bikers over the paved trail at both ends. This also creates much needed elevation to include desired features such as climbs and descents for a full, rich experience.

I’d love to see more space dedicated to the bike park as there is no facility like that within a reasonable distance from the city. This would help promote healthy outdoor recreation for many generations and help foster the growing community of cyclists in the Austin area.

A professionally planned, designed, and constructed bike park will become a magnet for riders from all over Austin (and beyond) since none currently exists in our region. Having open field event space is valuable for a bike park facility as it provides an open field area for instructors to teach the basics at skills clinics, private lessons, etc, before transitioning the students into the planned bike park areas.

Water sports don't typically rank high on my personal list of desired amenities, but the adjacency to the river makes this a no-brainer and a missed opportunity if not included in the park plan.
