Vanier bike park is closed until May due to eagle nesting season. (To be honest, the eagles don't mind the bike park & keep coming back year after year.).

Vanier update: Part of the fence is still up until May 24. Everything was pretty overgrown. We've done some working and some riding: nothing's rideable if it has rained in the last 24 hours! If not, the small set is rideable. The medium set is rideable up to the 5th jump.
05/11/2019
The city removed most of the fence but is leaving some up for 2 weeks (so that it's a gradual reopening). 🙄 Small set is rideable. Medium set will be rideable after a bit of work, except for the last jump. Big set's a no-go. We'll be digging this afternoon & tomorrow.
05/09/2019
Fences come down Friday May 10. We'll have someone out digging Saturday and Sunday. Feel free to stop by and lend a hand.
03/20/2019
Vanier bike park will be closed until May 10. Eagles have laid eggs in the nest platform that was installed last fall. We disagree with the actions that led to this closure, but we must now respect the closure to ensure the future of the bike park. We're planning a dig day with Joyride Bike Parks for late May.

Risk, fear and excitement: you can find it all here.

Why kids need risk, fear and excitement in play Did you know there has never been a safer time to be a child in Canada? Research shows that kids need freedom outdoors to explore exhilaration and fear, and discover their own limits.

Most of the jumps are covered in preparation for the upcoming rains. Dirt is actually in great condition, so feel free to ride, but PLEASE put the tarps back when you leave! Thank you!🙏

Monday Oct 1, Joyride Bike Parks are set to begin building a world class pump track at Vanier Park. This will open up the place to families and kids. The City are threatening to pull the plug due to a single complaint.
The project was carefully planned to rehabilitate the forest & allow bikes & nature to continue to coexist: remove invasives, plant native species, retain all existing healthy trees, and avoid bird nesting season.

Original project proposal 2016 for reference:
T-minus 1 week until construction:
Due to “perceived impacts to the habitat” of the eagles that may migrate back to the bike park, the City of Vancouver has decided to put the Vanier pump track project on hold again--indefinitely.
The pump track would keep existing trees, remove invasive species plants, plant native species trees, and was planned to avoid the migratory bird nesting seasons.
The project was carefully planned to co-habitate with the eagles and to improve the urban forest, but it seems that it isn’t enough for a few people. So close...

Vanier Park Pump Track construction by Joyride Bike Parks is expected to start the first week of October!
The eaglets hatched this spring at the Vanier dirt jumps are grown up:
