I need boots.
A reminder of what this project is truly about and the impacts already being experienced by unnecessary and foolish delays. The people in our community are dying for more invitations to go, be, and enjoy outside.

Seems like my kids will be grown and will have moved out before the bike park gets built. I heard about the project before my youngest was born over five years ago and have been looking forward to riding with my kids some day. My oldest is over ten now and I think about whether there will be any park to ride in while he's still interested. For now, the concrete and asphalt of Jefferson Park and Chief Sealth trail will have to do.
right on!
It’s official, mountain biking is good for your head and your heart! A perfect reason to try this type of recreational activity in Seattle Parks and Recreation! 😊
