Hello,
This is about the city-owned 536 acres at Hecker Pass. I understand the Gilroy city council is voting on whether to
move forward with developing a hillside adventure park. I want to send my full support for building this park. It
would be a great way to get many types of people to come to Gilroy. I am a Bay Area native and a mountain biker, I
have not travelled to Gilroy to try the trails there but I will go frequently if this park is built! Having trails
designated for only mountain biking is great for bikers and hikers alike. We have a lack of upkept mountain bike
trails in the Bay Area which leads to bikers running into hikers, as well as bikers building illegal trails in parks. This
park would help alleviate these problems and would certainly draw a crowd that has only Lake Tahoe to go to for
lift access trails.
The other activities such as zip lining and a wave pool sound very fun and family friendly!
Thanks for your consideration,
Sarah Tarver
