Diamond View Bike Skills Park

The bicycle pump track at Diamond View park is due for an update! Oakridge Trails Alliance is working together with members of the Oakridge Parks, Trails & Community Services Committee to develop a vision in an effort to update the pump track in the form of a dedicated bicycle skills park, designed to meet the following objectives:

• Create safe, approachable and progressive skills-based skills park

• Help riders build specific skills needed to ride the trails in our area with more confidence, control and enjoyment

• Utilize the entire park space more effectively, emphasizing an inclusive environment for families and adaptive park users

• Minimize maintenance through additional beautification and landscaping features and build on an inviting and welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy

These changes would serve Oakridge residents and tourists alike, reinforcing Oakridge’s status  as a Gold Level IMBA Destination and Oregon Signature Trails hub. Additional funding would be necessary to provide professional design and construction to complete this project, depending on scope and volunteer capacity. OSU Extension would also be consulted for landscape planning in order to .

Community volunteers are working with OTA and other recreational groups to develop a broader vision and fundraising plan, including access to equipment and volunteers to assist in site preparation. We are hoping to submit a grant proposal in the coming weeks, and look forward to working with our local citizens and stakeholders to move this project forward.
