New park offers cyclists of all ages a chance to develop skills. See what it looks like

A new bike park had its grand opening Sunday to celebrate the first publicly available skills park in the area.

Harvest Fields Community Trails Bike Park is located off the main parking lot of Calvary Church at Harvest Fields, 150 Harvest Fields Drive, Boalsburg.

It’s the second phase of a major Nittany Mountain Biking Association project that has been fueled by community donations. Harvest Fields Community Trails opened in fall 2020 and the bike park is meant for community members of all ages to “develop mountain biking skills, improve overall fitness, and just have fun,” according to a press release from NMBA.

For more information on the project or to volunteer, visit nittanymba.org/harvest-fields.
