My buddy called the shop today, and they said that the park opens on Saturday, May 12th.

I went over there last night around 9pm. It was pitch black, but you could still make out the jumps and stuff. After walking around for a few minutes, it's QUITE apparent that it's completely built for 20" bikes. You could definitely take a dirtjumper there, but it would be best on a 20.

Either way, the jumps and berms are in great condition, and it looks to be a great place to spend an early morning.

Why do you say it's made for a 20" ???
Is everything super tight ?

It's cali the kids will just change anything they dont like , shovels and dirt have a way of doing that getting together and making city build jumps not suck !

 

[Prettym1k3]

I doubt they'd risk damaging the place... as it took over 3 years for the city to re-open that place. The jumps are "safely made" or "purposefully designed."

The cool thing is that there is an obvious path that was made, so there won't be any head-on collisions.

any big jump sets? its good to hear that place is back in business. gotta get back up there soon.

 

[Winger]

the park will not be opening on may 12 due to safety issues and issues that need to be resolved by the city and the contractor...
for more updates on when the park is going to open call calabazas cyclery at...

Blah! Everything I had heard said May 12th.

Sorry for the bad information. Even Calabazas Cyclery told my friend it was Saturday. Hmmm...

 

[Brian B.]

You had the right info. I got emails and a flyer from the city saying that the grand opening was May 12 2-3 with refreshments and giveaways.

I am really glad to hear that it won't be opening yet because the jumps they have weren't even fun to ride and also dangerous for the less experienced rider.

I wonder how long we will have to wait now though?

Oh well. Hopefully the wait won't be too long. I have never rode there so I'm eager to add that to my list of to-do's. Well, some of us will be heading to Pleasanton Bike Park on both Friday and Saturday afternoon if you want to join us.
