Select Contracts proposal for an Adventure Park in Gilroy will be a positive project in the region for people that
bike, hike, and enjoy the outdoors. It will provide a benefit to our local community and attract tourism to the city.
“The inclusion of a full-scale lift accessed downhill bike park within day-trip of the Bay area and weekend trip
distance for much of the central California coastline is totally unique and compelling as its own offering,” said
Select Contracts in their proposal. The park would be an amazing resource for local high school mountain bike
teams, mountain bike enthusiasts, new riders, hikers, and those who enjoy emerging trends in recreation. There is
not another project like this in the region. Gilroy is a Bicycle Friendly Community, and the Adventure Park supports
the 2018 Tourism in the Hecker Pass Corridor Resolution, and the 2020 Recreation Destination Community
Resolution. We are actively embracing, advancing ideas, and projects that promote the concept of free-range people
in the City of Gilroy.
