Hilride was hired to design, plan and oversee the construction of a 10-acre progression based mountain bike park at Fresno’s popular recreation destination Woodward Regional Park.

We actually own a house across the street from it (now a long-term rental), but they built the park after we left Fresno. I have a buddy there who's ridden it; he says the tables are a bit short and ill-conceived, except for the massive pro BMX track. But sounds like there is some really fun stuff out there; I'd love to come back to check it out someday soon.

ok heres the low down, riden this park a couple times and have talked to the builders as well.

these '40' tables are correct in #. however there on perrty much flat ground. spaced out WAY to far, u have to pedal like crazy between each to get speed to clear them, the transitions are not very good. the BMX is TITs. they have a sweet trials(yes trials) area. The jumps are defantly not worth it if u have to travel to it. there is about 10 or so that u can easily have enough speed to hit. they are bigger.

When i was last there i talked to the builders, i found them at a set of 3 VERY nice spaced/transitioned and size jumps. talked to them and they said that the desginers for the park made them do it like such. they plan on rebuilding it this spring. I will be out there again for Easter(family) and will check them out agian and get back to you to see how there doing.
