Edmonton's new bike park is taking shape in the river valley
Edmonton is well-known for its large mountain biking community, and a new bike park in the heart of the city is another step closer to being completed.
Queen Elizabeth Park will soon be home to the Edmonton Bike Park, a first-of-its-kind facility that provides a dedicated and safe space for riders to develop their skills on flow trails, jump lines, and skills areas.
The project is the result of years of community engagement, advocacy, and collaboration with the City of Edmonton and Albertaās mountain biking community.
Crews are now on-site shaping the park, with volunteer builders working alongside professional companies such as Peak Play and Cabin Works. The group has also shared photos of the progress, showing all of the features beginning to take shape.

The design incorporates lessons learned from other successful bike parks across North America, including destinations in Whistler, Moab, Bentonville, and several Alberta communities such as Hinton, Nordegg, Canmore, Valemount, and Grande Prairie, according to the most recent update.

The project is being funded by a $612,000 grant through the Government of Albertaās Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP). The total budget is $1.24 million, with $407,000 from a City of Edmonton grant and $177,000 in private donations covering the remainder.

In addition, the Edmonton Mountain Bike Alliance and the City are finalizing an operations plan to support park maintenance and ensure its long-term success.
Construction is underway, with the Edmonton Bike Park scheduled to open in Spring or Summer 2026.
