The Fort Collins Bike Park Collective has rolled out a new website emphasizing the need for a bike park in Fort Collins, specifically within a community park on the old Hughes Stadium site. The proposed Valmont-style bike park would occupy a portion of the 170-acre parcel of land, leaving space for other community facilities and activities. For reference, Valmont Bike Park in Boulder is 42 acres.
