Today was my first day riding the 2 acre Colonnade Mountain Bike Park this Spring. Located directly under I-5 between Seattle's Eastlake and Capitol Hill neighborhood, this park caters to riders of all abilities and skill levels. Riders can progressively build up from ground ladders and small drops to technical loose dirt sections followed by razor sharp switchbacks and steep single track trails.
Because of the apparent variety in terrain in Colonnade bike park, one would expect numerous riders at all times of the day. Think again. During my last 5 visits to the park, I have seen less than 10 riders total.
With such a fantastic resource at the fingertips of outdoor fanatics in the Seattle area, why is it being underutilized?
The street address is 1600 Lakeview Blvd. E, Seattle WA, 98102
