Mountain Bike
Urban core natural surface trails for hiking, running, and riding now total over 5 miles in what is called the Rozarks. Currently spread over 3 parks between 39th Street West and Southwest Boulevard near KU Med, plans call for over 12 miles of interconnected trails to be constructed in the area during the next few years. The terrain is similar to other "south of the river" ERTA trails with black dirt and numerous rocky outcroppings. Trails have been compared to Swope Park and Shawnee Mission Red for their technicality and amount of climbing. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
