Mayor Indya Kincannon will join members of City Council, Urban Wilderness Coordinator Rebekah Jane Montgomery, Appalachian Mountain Bike Club Executive Director Matthew Kellogg, City staff and project partners at the newly opened Baker Creek Bike Park for a celebration on Thursday, Aug. 27, 2020 at 10 a.m. at 3700 Lancaster Drive.

The bike park is the first new feature to be completed as part of the Urban Wilderness Gateway Park project. 

The Bike Park is a one-of-a-kind facility designed and built uniquely for Knoxville. This all-weather park is a place to build and practice mountain-biking skills. The Bike Park offers two asphalt pump tracks – one for more advanced riders and one for beginners – and five jump and skill lines of varying difficulty levels.

Due to safety protocols in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, attendees at Thursday’s event must wear masks and practice appropriate physical distancing.  

In the event of rain, the Bike Park opening celebration will be rescheduled.
