Bike Skills Parks



SDMBA promotes the sport of cycling for all people of all ages and skills. We believe that one of the best places to do this is at Bike Skills Parks. After over 10 years of advocacy efforts for bike parks in San Diego, there are a few open in the county and more in planning and development.

These next-generation parks are popping up all around the country with great success. Bike Skills Parks promote a healthy, active lifestyle and create a diverse and vibrant community hub. SDMBA advocates have worked for over a decade to bring bike parks to San Diego County! This hard work is finally starting to pay off. See updates below on projects throughout the County.

SD COUNTY BIKE PARK MAP

SWEETWATER BIKE PARK

6057 San Miguel Road, Bonita, CA 91902 MAP LINK

The park is FREE and is open daily from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. (Winter Hours) weather permitting.  Hours are extended in the summer.

The Sweetwater Bike Park, managed by the County of San Diego, opened on January 4, 2020 with over 1000 riders in attendance.  Two public community meetings were held in early 2018 to gather input from the public on this project.  The conceptual design has been completed by KTUA and the contract has been awarded to S&B Engineering who will manage the build, and Schneider Grading lent their artistry to the major elements of the park including 2 flow trails, 3 pump tracks, and 3 progressive jump lines. 

Park will be closed after rain. Follow the Sweetwater Bike Park FB page & Instagram for up-to-date information.

  • Helmets are required
  • Park is great for mountain bikes, BMX bikes or Dirt jumpers
  • No E-bikes are permitted at the park

SDMBA has committed to raising $10,000 annually to support a part-time County staff position to assist with Bike Park operations.  You can contribute directly to that effort HERE.  There is also a "Donation Station" parking meter at the park which takes coins or cards!

SDMBA staff and volunteers resurfaced the pumptrack and jumplines using a slurry technique in the fall of 2021.  This technique has proven very successful given the wear and tear that happens daily on these features.  SDMBA continues to work with the County to schedule this track maintenance in 2023.   SDMBA has acquired some funding for this work from a Fox Factory Grant as well as from the Count of San Diego Neighborhood Reinvestment Program.

Sponsorship opportunities are available as well including community event participation, park signage & naming considerations. Contact ExecutiveDirector@sdmba.com for more information.
