from the West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance
Johnson Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan is soon to have an expanded mountain bike trail. Dan Frayer, president of West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance states he's "confident this is going the be the best trail in all of West Michigan. The existing trail of six miles will be expanded to eight miles. It will be professionally built by Spectrum Trail Design with rock drops, rollers, and dirt jumps. It will have the largest vertical drop (130 feet) of any trail in the WMMBA system.
Johnson Park is a 224-acre property located in the City of Walker. It was established in 1928 and it is one of the oldest parks in the Kent County Park System. Johnson Park is known for its 1930s enclosed shelter, the 1 mile plus scenic drive (now pedestrian pathway) that winds through the park, its proximity to the Grand River and Millennium Park, and the open recreation it provides. Positioned in the urban core of the County, Johnson Park serves a diverse range of residents and visitors.
Fundraising for the project is about half completed, and work is already begun.
