A bike park is a great way to get outside.
Utah’s landscape is transforming as bike parks and pump tracks become new spots for family fun. There’s something there for all skill levels, all ages, and the cities have done a great job of making these bike parks work for whole families.
Kyra Free shares four bike parks in Utah to take the family to.
Safety and Etiquette
Etiquette is simple: be mindful of others on the trails. Be aware of where they are, what they’re doing, and keep your safety in mind. “You’re going to want a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads…. I would say bring more gear than you think you’re going to need,” Kira recommended.
Assess your child’s bike to make sure it’s in good condition and at a proper height before you go. “When you get there and the kids see that bike park, they’re going to want to get going,” Kira emphasized.
