After over three years of community outreach culminating in the recent community design process where SF Urban Riders partnered with Alpine Bike Parks and SF Recreation and Parks, it’s looking like McLaren Bike Park is going to happen. But… to take it to the next level, we need to pay for the design phase of the project, show that we can raise money, and prove that people actually want a bike park. This will help us apply for larger grants and ultimately fund the entire MBP Project.
For those individuals that want a bike park, this is the chance to show your support. Maybe you haven’t made all the meetings. Or, maybe you haven’t been out to all of our events. Well, now there’s a great way to show your support and let everyone know that “Cyclists in San Francisco want McLaren Bike Park!”. Become an MBP Founder!!!
