Gateway Green- A New Bike Park for East Portland, Maybe

The Oregonian reported today that east Portland is looking into turning an unused area next to a freeway into a bike park.  The park would acccomodate off-road riding, of which there’s very little in Portland.  In fact, the lack of mountain bike riding within Portland almost cost the city its Platinum award as America’s most bicycle friendly large city.  However, the city is out to make sure it improves its facilities for off-road biking and this park would be one way of helping that.  The 35 acre area would have mountain bike trails, a cyclocross course and a free-riding area.

“It’s a significant project in our eyes,” said Tom Archer, a board member of Portland United Mountain Pedalers, a mountain bike advocacy group that has been involved in developing the plan.

An open house to explain the project will be held on Tuesday, April 14, 2009  –  7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Gateway Elks Lodge
