Alpine Bike Parks' staff has been bringing the best bike parks to life since 1999. For 2012, we are launching a new program called PARKSTART to help you get a bike park built in your Community.
Bike Parks - once a niche amenity for extreme athletes - are now broadly desired by constituents of all ages and skill levels. To respond to this demand, bike advocates and municipal Parks and Rec Departments need great designs, proven construction standards, and honest budget forecasts that can be taken to City Hall with confidence. PARKSTART™ achieves this and more.
Communities where riders and advocates connect with professional bike park designers are experiencing a surge in bike park development in municipal and regional parks, summer camps, special recreation districts, destination resorts, and large-scale land management units.

There are riders in every community that want to develop a new trail or a bike park. The traditional model has been to develop them on a shoestring budget with donated equipment, free dirt, tacked-together trail features, minimalistic design, and volunteer labor. While this process delivers an amenity at a low-cost, it often creates unsafe bicycle playgrounds and limits the approval, adoption, and success of professionally planned, built and promoted bike trails and facilities.
Meanwhile, skateparks continue to receive multi-million dollar budgets for exciting new facilities, paid for by public grants that cyclists are missing out on.
"Alpine clearly understands the needs of the user and communicates ideas very effectively with beautiful renderings to diverse community groups, cyclists, city agencies and contractors alike." Linda Roberson - Parks and Open Space Planner, San Francisco, CA
The way we see it - if we have more great designs out there, more cities will take bicycle riding seriously and more riders will have great, well-funded parks to ride - with professionally-built trails, awesome flow, and progressive, durable features.
Is that what you'd like to see too?
