Important Event Information
Bring Your Own Chair
We encourage guests to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets to relax and enjoy the event throughout the day.
No Outside Alcohol
Outside alcohol will not be permitted on site, and to ensure we keep things inclusive and safe, alcohol will not be served on site.
Weather Dependency Notice After working so hard to build this park, we'd be silly to trash it on the first day. If it's been raining, the Grand Opening date will be changed. Riding Edmonton's Bike Park during wet conditions can damage dirt features and contribute to higher levels of erosion on flow trails. Let's work together to keep the bike park in pristine condition.
