The Spoke Bike Park in Highland Park Village
It’s wonderful. It’s whimsical. And it’s for wheels.
This bike park is more than a park; it’s a whole series of experiences that ramble through our Highland Park Village neighborhood along the trail network known as the Loop. And it’s not just for mountain bikes. It’s also for skateboards, inline skates, BMX bikes, even Strider Bikes.
So what did we call it ? How about the Bigger-Than-a-Park-For-More-Than-Just-Bikes Thing? Or the Jumpy, Bumpy, Zippy, Flowy, Roll-a-Rama? No? We’ve called it … The Spoke.
That’s a short name for a humongous amount of leg-powered fun. The Spoke includes a variety of bike park experiences, each tuned to a particular ability level: from beginner to intermediate to maestro. You’ll find yourself breezing through groves of trees, bopping in and out of basins, encountering features like whale tails, berms, gaps, rock gardens and table tops. All scattered along a half-mile stretch of the Loop like spokes on a wheel or pearls on a string.
Speaking of pearls, The Spoke also has a crown jewel: a mind-blowing, sweet-flowing pump track designed and handcrafted by none other than Velosolutions of Switzerland, co-creators of the Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championships.
And the truly beautiful thing about The Spoke it’s woven right into the neighborhood. No more getting in the car to ride your bike. On your way to school? Catch a little air. Want some after-dinner entertainment? Pedal over to the pump track. Feel more like hanging than riding? Just find yourself a comfy spot in the spectator area or near a fire pit and enjoy the show.
Oh, and would you like to live close — like, across-the-street close — to The Spoke? We have homesites available. If riding isn’t your thing, no sweat we’ve got plenty of other parks, lakes, and amenities for you to check out!
So air up your tires and tighten your helmet strap. The Spoke is here.
*Daybreak amenities are for Daybreak residents and their guests.
