Confirmed from Sylvan Hill Bike Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Compact downhill park featuring a pump track and multi-skill-level trails with jumps & berms.
What runners say about Sylvan Hill Bike Park
Such a fun place for kids to practice their skills! My younger kids have even used balance bikes in this area. There is a port-a potty in the parking lots and an area with tools. I feel like the signs could be more clear on the actual trails but this is a really fun place to ride.
Not a large bike park, but really well built trails that are well spaced out in terms of progression.
Green trails are challenging enough on a hybrid bike. Great workout and adrenaline rush! Highly recommend.
Love DH laps here and the pump track is solid. Not a good place for XC or department store bikes. Come for the DH. Four progressive trails leading to Fish Hook the big line. Skills features at the beginning which is great to keep folks on trails that match their skills level. Helmets required
