The Burnaby Mountain bike skills course is set to get a makeover with a range of new and improved features after city council approved the plan March 25.
But after 15 years of use, the report said the facility has aged and “requires a complete redevelopment to continue to maintain a safe and fun amenity for the community.”The city held “extensive community engagement” about the plan in 2022 and 2023, according to the report, which also noted the popularity of mountain biking in Canada is projected to grow at an annual growth rate of more than seven per cent annually, citing Statista Global Consumer Survey.
The bike skills park was built in 2008 on the site of a former gun club, a 2.7-acre parcel on the north side of Burnaby Mountain. Coun. Daniel Tetrault said the project is a “tremendous opportunity” and suggested school-based mountain bike clubs could use it, expanding the park’s usage among local residents.
