A new city-owned mountain biking trail is under construction in Round Rock.
What you need to know
Nature-based mountain biking trails are coming to a city-owned park, the city of Round Rock shared via social media June 2.
The city provided an update on construction, which began earlier this year.
The details
The project will include just over 5 miles of trails, including technical and skills trails, cross-country trails and a pump track. City officials approved a $833,155 contract for the project in October with KOM Trails to build the bike park, to be paid from the city's self-funded construction budget. Trails within the park will have minimal intersections, Parks & Recreation Department Director Rick Atkins said in October. When the project was presented last year, he said the project would rely on street parking.
The trails will only be for use by traditional bikes, according to the city. Dirt bikes and other motorized bikes will not be allowed.
What's next?
Per the city, the project is expected to be completed later this year or early 2027.
