Bainbridge Island Review

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND – Overpasses over intersections help vehicles get from one place to another safely, and the same will be true at Bainbridge Island’s new mountain bike park.
They are planned as a safety feature to help the flow of cyclists on the trails. But bike committee member David Maron said they’re more than that. “The idea of creating artistically designed overpasses is very important to making it feel like a special place,” he said at a recent meeting of the Bainbridge Island Metro Parks & Recreation District.
Parks Natural Resources manager Lydia Roush said staff has been working with Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance to design the park. The committee has hosted two community walk-throughs, and one more is planned. They will also be working with the BI Parks & Trails Foundation to fundraise. The bike park will be located on the 10-acre parcel west of Strawberry Hill Park; land donated to accommodate a bike park and to enlarge the dog park.
