Mountain Biking: Ft. Walla Walla Park BMX Track
Perfect for skill building, the track at Ft. Walla Walla Park offers some nice terrain to practice on for some major skill building. Next door to the skateboard park, the BMX dirt track offers mountain bikers something, too. Although most people don’t typically think of taking a mountain bike on a BMX track, take it from a guy with experience that it does help. It’s a fun way to get to know your bike and handle it better on the trails.
Although the track isn’t terribly big, it offers you high berms, two roller series, and several large tabletops for some large jumps. Perfect for practicing your log hopping, corner taking, insane mountain biking finesse! The most important thing to watch out for is other bikers. BMX and mountain bikers both use the track, and on weekends and after school, it does get busy. Try to go in the morning or over a lunch rush so you can get the track to yourself. It’s an awesome track, and I have had the privilege of riding it a couple times. Definitely worth it!
