Area C Mountain Bike Park

Organization Orlando Community and Youth Trust, Inc.
State FL
Year 2011
Type Mountain Bike Project

When the City of Orlando requested citizen input on the public use of a parcel of land donated after the decommissioning of a naval base, local mountain bikers spoke up. The result is Area C, a facility centrally located in a highly developed part of the city with access to the Cady Way Trail and connections to multiple parks and neighborhoods. Bikes Belong’s $7,500 grant will add to the park’s appeal by funding an expanded skills area and an advanced singletrack course.
