Online survey open through 11/30/23

We are collecting community feedback via an online survey and a series of meetings. The overall goals for this study are to determine the programing of a mountain bike park and selection of appropriate sites. This survey will be open through November 30, 2023. The survey results and feedback from the community meetings will be used to assist with the identification of what kinds of mountain bike facilities are needed. Take the online survey here.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Snohomish County is conducting a feasibility study to identify a preferred candidate site for a new mountain biking park. The goals of the feasibility study include identifying mountain bike facility needs and required site characteristics; developing mountain biking park programming; and analyzing existing park inventory for site suitability or potential sites for acquisition.
