Central Florida & Orlando Mountain Bike Trails: ORLANDO MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK at Lake Druid Park



VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Hi how's it going? My name is Joshua Jianuzzi and welcome to the Orlando mountain bike park. We're located here inside of Lake druid Park which is off of SR 50 also known as Colonial Drive of back road of Coy drive here and we're in between Coy Town and just outside of the milk district about ten minutes outside of downtown Orlando.

This is a SORBA Orlando mountain bike park. This property was donated by the naval base about seven, eight years ago, we tried to open this once before and had some issues with soil and the city was nice enough to help us out get us going. With the help of city individuals, fellow mountain bikers, local organizations like Summit Church with their NiServ, Green Up which is also a part of the city Orlando, thanks to Janice Rahill and David Wagg, Tommy and Anton, big help all the individual riders have been a big part of the build up and construction of the park... Been here for a little over three years maintaining it.

We've got just under a mile of singletrack, we've got a pumptrack here, its a mix between a skills area and also another tot track with some other wooden features as well to kind of hone in your skills. We are mostly a beginner park as we are fresh here for the last three and a half years. We opened up October 31st of 2015.

Yeah so we've got new features we're building and designing, I'm out here as much as I can with different volunteers, different organizations I'm just digging in and trying to share the fun with everybody so you can get out and enjoy the ride.
