Thanks to Eastern Oregon Trail Alliance, we now have a small trail system and bike park at the 7^th Street Complex, great from kids and beginners with county loops and slope-style dirt jumps. The John Day Bike Park consists of nearly 2 miles of single tract mountain bike trails as well as a skills areas with a recently finished pump track.

For those who aren’t familiar with what a pump track it, it’s a continuous loop of dirt berms and rollers that you can ride without pedaling.  Pump tracks can be ridden by cyclists of all ages and skill levels. You don’t need a special kind of bicycle to ride on a pump track; BMX bikes, mountain bikes, kids bikes and even “scooter” bikes can be used on the pump track. All you really need is a bike with knobby tires, a helmet and you’re set. The pump track is NOT for motorized dirt bikes, ATV’s, or skateboards ‐ we already have a cool skateboard park at 7^th Street. The pump track is strictly for cycling and of course fun.
