Latest News!!
Ptarmigan Ptrails, a Pacific NW based trail construction company and member of the Professional Trail Builders Association (PTBA) finished the trail construction for Phase 1 of the 7th Street Bike Park.
The Autzen Foundation awarded $12,000 for the bike park. In addition, the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) through Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) awarded $33,893.60 for Phase 1 of the bike park.
The Grant County Chamber of Commerce approved a $3,000 grant award through the Transient Room Tax to kick-start this project. The TRT grant funded the site design phase of the project. A big thank you to the Chamber for approving this award and keeping the project on schedule!
7th Street Bike Park
The Grant County Economic Council (GCEC) and Eastern Oregon Trail Alliance (EOTA) developed a new bike park in the city. The park features trails for both mountain biking and BMX bikes for riders of all ages and skill levels.
A public hearing for the Conditional Use Permit for the park was held on Thursday, May 4, 2017 at 6PM at the Fire Station Community Room, 316 S. Canyon Boulevard, John Day, OR. The Planning Commission approved the application as submitted.
Park Overview
The proposed project consists of two phases. Phase I featured several miles of gravity lines (flow track) and Phase II will include an all wheel type, all age pump track. It is located on the hillside above the 7th Street Park, and would provide another outdoor recreation area for youth and adults alike.
Collaborators
The City of John Day, the Parks and Recreation District, and the School Board are working together with the GCEC and EOTA for this project.
