Join us on Saturday June 11 for the Grand Opening of Valmont Bike Park!  Bring your kids and your bikes and enjoy this historic day with us. There will be food vendors, Bike Park merchandise for sale, Park Hosts to show you around, a jumpy castle and children's play area, and more!

9:00 a.m. - Park Officially Opens (Gravity features remain closed until 11:15 a.m.)

10:00 a.m. - Grand Opening Ceremony & Ribbon Cutting

11:00 a.m. - BMA Presentation & Gravity Demo - watch the pros ride the Park! 

11:15 a.m. - All Park Trails & Gravity features open to the public! 

There will be food vendors on site and 20+ of Valmont's closest friends with booths for Opening Day! 

Parking is limited so please ride your bike if you can.  For families there will be a drop-off area to unload your gear before you head off to one of our available parking lots.

 Continue the celebration into the evening - join BMA from 6:00 p.m. to midnight for a VBP after party!  Join us at Green Guru, a company that is dedicated to the design and manufacture of gear and products from recycled or reclaimed materials.  They're located close to Valmont Bike Park, just across the street at 47th St and the Goose Creek Path.

Bring your friends and family to celebrate at this bombastic party! Copious beer from Oskar Blues, a food truck to keep you nourished, live music early in the evening, and a badass bike flick on the outdoor screen once the sun goes down.   Bring your lawn chair,  your favorite beer mug, and the big smile plastered on your face after riding the Park. 

All we ask in return is a donation to Valmont Bike Park.  You can't say that about a night out on Pearl Street, so we'll see you at Green Guru on Saturday night! 

Volunteers are also needed throughout the summer. We expect that all summer long, folks will be flocking to this park to enjoy the world-class new facility, but might be a little at a loss on exactly which jump lines are right for them or the best way around the Glade trails.  

That's where you come in. City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department has asked for your help. They want to train up some people as Park Hosts to know the park backwards and forwards, so that you can then convey that info to the general public. The Parks Department needs you to understand the layout of the park so you can tell XC and DJ riders where to go, so you can help people understand that different park features are built for different ability levels, and answer people's questions about the park and keep everything running smoothly. 

The Valmont Park Host program is also the "gateway" to a potential volunteer maintenance crew. So if you want to spend some time digging at Valmont this summer, you will first need to be trained up as a Park Host.

BMA & the Parks Dept. need your help! 

Valmont Bike Park opens on June 11 and we have no idea how many people to expect - probably a ton! To keep things running smoothly, the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department has asked for your help. 

The Parks Department and BMA need lots of volunteers on hand for some shift work Saturday, June 11
 between 7 am and 7 pm.

Even if you can only help for an hour, please sign up to help out

 

Valmont shirts, socks, bottles, and cozies will be on sale at the Park on Saturday  

Support the Park while sporting some sweet new duds.  Look for the BMA tent!
