Bike Recreation within Ann Arbor Parks
Bandemer Bike Park
Bandemer Park features a dirt bike course for beginners and experts alike. Constructed in 2009, the course challenges bikers with a series of jumps and moguls of varying size. Grab your bike and catch some air or find a place on a nearby bench and enjoy the show. The dirt bike course is free to use and is open during daylight hours. View the course map here.
