Stakeholders Meeting #1. Forty-nine people attended the first stakeholder design meeting. The meeting introduced the public to the bike park project with a multi-media design presentation, which included a short history of the project, the location and the layout of the selected site for the future bike park.

Participants were asked to fill out a  community profile survey to determine what type of riders are in the area and what type of riding experiences they were looking for. In addition participants were provided with a blank map of the site and were asked to draw their own designs of what the park should look like as part of the

the community design development process. Photos: Rachael Lopes, Hilride
