South Lakes Park Mountain Bike Trail Development

Parks and Recreation is partnering with Denton Off-road Trails Association and Big Pig Racing Mission to construct a mountain bike trail in South Lakes Park. Preparation work for the trail site will begin this weekend, which will include volunteers assisting with the targeted removal of privet using hand tools. Previously, the Environmental Services and Sustainability Department worked with Parks and Recreation to develop a standard operating procedure (SOP) for privet removal and habitat restoration on park property. The SOP focuses on pre-activity inspection, removal strategies, public education and involvement, restoration planning, and follow-up activities. For more information on how to volunteer visit the volunteer event page (link). In addition, staff have created a Discuss Denton page dedicated to privet removal communications.

The creation of the trail will be conducted by volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering please register here: Mountain Bike Trail Workdays | City of Denton Parks and Recreation (galaxydigital.com)
