Bike Parks

At 7.5 acres, Ruby Hill Bike Park features a slopestyle course, dirt jumps, pump tracks, and a skills course.  The slopestyle course and dirt jumps provide lines of varying difficulty from beginner to advanced, with a special expert slopestyle line to challenge and entertain professional riders. 

Two pump tracks -small and large- will provide opportunities for all ages and skill levels, from small children with pedal-less bicycles to seasoned adult riders.  The skills course allows beginner and intermediate riders to test their riding skills on a variety of features designed to improve balance and bike handling.  Additionally, a 1.7 mile multi-use natural surface loop trail around the perimeter of Ruby Hill Park is suitable for mountain biking.

Trestle Bike Skills Course was built in partnership with Winter Park's Trestle Bike Park. It features a dirt jump line that follows a series of slopestyle wooden features, ranging in size and difficulty for riders of different abilities. The course also includes a small pump track.

The Montbello Bicycle Skills Course was built in partnership with Denver's Dept. of Transportation and Infrastructure and provides residents with a place to practice bicycling and develop their riding skills before hitting the city streets.

This pump track was generously funded by a grant from the Denver Foundation.
