The public is invited to the Grand Opening and first ride celebration on *Thursday, June 13th at 10:00 a.m.* There will be two separate ribbon cuttings for the upper part of the park and the lower part of the park. Immediately afterward, special guests and invitees will take the first rides on the trails.
Ride on the first day and get a First Ride water bottle while the supply lasts. Grab a demo bike to ride on if you don’t have your own. There will also be food trucks and other vendors.
With close to 4 miles of trails to ride, the Benton Mountain Bike Park is truly a unique experience in Central Arkansas. The park features the second Dual Slalom course in the state. The other dual slalom is in Northwest Arkansas. Riders of all ages and experience levels will find a trail or a course here in Benton that will challenge them.
The Mountain Bike Park has been years in the making and is a key piece of Benton’s 2040 plan to expand and grow the services and opportunities the citizens of Benton and surrounding areas have for recreation and close-to-home attractions.
Benton Parks and Recreation partnered with Progressive Trail Design in all the park planning, design, and building stages. This park will be a beacon to all outdoor enthusiasts and biking hobbyists to come to Benton and explore.
