Phoenixville Bike Park Raises $16k at Root Down Fundraising Event
More Kids on Bikes, a local 501(c)(3), raised $16,255 at its latest fundraiser at Root Down Brewing Company to bring a bike park to Phoenixville. According to an update on April 15, the total amount raised for the park surpassed $49,000.
The location of the MTB Skills Park is set for Reservoir Park on the north side of Phoenixville. The bike park allows people of all ages to practice their mountain biking skills on terrain and other MTB objects. The bike park is going to be free for all visitors to train their skills.
The bike park will also be home to the Phoenixville Inferno–a local youth mountain bike club. Additional plans include clinics and youth bike programs to progress riders’ skills before jumping on the track.
There are 2 upcoming events to raise money for the bike park.
