You are invited to attend the grand opening of the Riverton Trolly Bike Park on Wednesday, May 14th at 4:00 pm.  The ribbon cutting ceremony will mark the opening of Portland’s first dedicated public bike park.  The event also marks a major step in revitalizing one of the city’s most historic green spaces.

The bike park serves as the centerpiece of a $535,000 park improvement project made possible through a collaborative partnership among the city of Portland, Portland Parks Conservancy, Maine Trail Builders and the Greater Portland New England Mountain Bike Association (GPNEMBA).  Maine Trail Builders designed and constructed the flow trail and features, creating a riding experience that is both exciting and accessible for users of all skill levels.  GPNEMBA contributed local expertise and advocacy, ensuring the park meets the needs of the region’s biking community.  Funding for the project was provided by Allagash Brewing Company, Battery Steele Brewing. LL Bean, Mane Beer Company and numerous other donors.

The vision for the bike park was shaped through a robust community engagement process led by the Portland Parks Conservancy in 2021.  Local residents, including Riverton neighbors and park users, shared their ideas and priorities.
