Valmont Bike Park Named One Of the Best In The Country For Kids

BOULDER, CO -- Two-Wheeling Tots has ranked Valmont Bike Park among 2018's best kid-friendly bike parks in the United States of America. The North Boulder gem made the website's "bike park bucket list" released this month."[We] want to help spread the word to the parents of America – bike parks are a super-fun alternative playground for your little ones!" wrote Carrie Wren, the group's marketing director and co-founder.

Valmont is a city-operated, 42-acre park that offers enough space and terrain for all of Boulder's riders, from beginners to experts — even the Strider crowd.

"There are three kid-friendly pump tracks, with one specifically for toddlers," noted Wren, in her post ranking Boulder's park fourth in the nation. "There’s also a track just for tots and baby dirt jumps… and a playground for when they get tired of two wheels. Valmont sets the standard for true bike parks, and in fact, Chicago’s new bike park used Valmont as inspiration!"

The country's top-ranked park, the Louisville MEGA-Cavern is located in Louisville, Kentucky. The park is located in a cavern 100 feet below the surface of the earth and includes a zip line, tram ride, and ropes challenge course along with its more than 45 bike trails.
