Commissioner Justin Jones and Clark County Parks and Recreation are proud to announce the official groundbreaking of the Desert Flow at Southwest Ridge bike skills park, a premier 17-acre outdoor recreation destination designed to serve cyclists of all ages and skill levels on Wednesday, January 28 at 3pm. Located on the corner of Warm Springs Road and Fort Apache Road, this project represents a significant investment in community health, outdoor adventure, and local infrastructure.
The Desert Flow Bike Park at Southwest Ridge is designed to be a local destination for the cycling community, featuring a wide array of specialized tracks and amenities. The heart of the park offers a world-class riding experience, including multi-level skills courses for both beginners and advanced riders, specialized obstacles, a dedicated pump track, and rugged dirt trails designed for skill progression. A 12-foot-wide asphalt-paved main trail will serve as the primary artery through the site, ensuring smooth and accessible navigation for all visitors.
“We’re proud to break ground on Desert Flow Bike Park at Southwest Ridge, a 17-acre bike park that will be a true destination for riders across the valley,” said Commissioner Justin Jones. “Families have been asking for a safe place where kids and riders of all ages can build skills, stay active, and enjoy the outdoors. This park delivers that—and it’s another investment in the quality of life that residents in the southwest valley deserve.”
Beyond the trails, the facility features areas designed as comfortable gathering places for the community. The entry plaza will serve as the park’s gateway, featuring professional site lighting, an entry kiosk, and a prefabricated restroom facility. To provide relief from the elements, the project includes a large group shade pavilion and several smaller shade structures throughout the landscape. To accommodate visitors and ensure easy access, the project includes the construction of a new 50-space parking lot.
