The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) owns and manages a linear river valley park called Sweetwater Regional Park. The regional park includes 15 miles of multi-use trails that are available to hikers, bikers, and equestrians. On January 4, 2020 DPR opened the Sweetwater Bike Park, a 4.2-acre dirt bike park that features three progressive jump lines ranging from beginner to expert, two flow trails with wall rides, two pump tracks for kids and adults, a progressive skill zone, and a perimeter trail. Riders of all ages get a workout as they fine-tune their skills on a variety on increasingly challenging attractions.The Bike Park is the first of its kind in the county of San Diego and Southern California region, as this facility is available free of charge to the public every day that weather allows. The facility design incorporated feedback from all ages, skill levels, and specialty riders, which provided quality and safety controls. Sweetwater Bike Park provides a regional scale bike park facility that is unprecedented in San Diego due to the size and programming of the facility.
