Trail work parties are a great way to meet like-minded people and keep outdoor spaces safe and enjoyable for everyone. Here's how you can help keep Torguson Park Pump Track and Tennant Trailhead Park in top shape! In early Spring, we're rallying volunteers to rake out winter debris, clear drainage channels, and reshape berms. Si View and Evergreen MTB provide tools, instructions, and safety guidance for volunteer work parties. Bring your gloves, enthusiasm, and your bike if you want to ride after! Note that kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Let's keep our trails beautiful, safe, and ready for adventure!

Tennant Trailhead Park and the Torguson Park Pump Track provide excellent experiences for all levels of bikers. Northwest winters can be rather wet creating muddy conditions all around. While mud may sound like a fun adventure, please consider the impacts of riding on muddy trails. Pay attention to conditions before heading out for a ride. If you are leaving deep tracks or ruts, turn back, and stay off muddy trails until conditions improve. If you encounter short stretches of mud, ride through them but please don't leave the trail as this damages trailside vegetation and leads to trail widening and erosion, a cycle that is difficult to curtail. As trails widen, erosion increases, and the trails become increasingly difficult to maintain and over time lead to a loss of the single-track character of the trail system. Thanks for doing your part to protect the trails and choosing an alternate route or activity when conditions are muddy.
Interested in helping maintain our trails? Please sign up for upcoming work parties through Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance. Happy riding!
