Huck Finn Park

The Story.

The Cloud City Wheelers constructed the first public pump track in Colorado on Lake County owned land in 2007. Since then many young rippers and shredders have gained a new love for the lifelong sport that cycling is. In 2014 the community advocated for a new skate park and successfully constructed one of Colorado's best skateparks. This skatepark park is well used by the community and plenty of visitors but lacks the ability for younger and novices to progress their skills.

The new Huck Finn Park will complement the current skate park and build upon the area as a whole. The new Huck Finn Park is centered around a paved pump track. This pump track will invite users of all types to participate in gaining and keeping momentum under their own power by utilizing the berms, turns, and rollers to generate speed. Being an inclusive paved pump track will allow skateboarders, scooters, rollerblades, roller skates, and bikes to be part of the fun!

Surrounding the pump track will be progressive jumps and skill features catering to bicycles. These are similar features that we are finding illegally built in the woods around Leadville that will be built in a sustainable way and maintained by the Wheelers.

Since 2019 the Wheelers have raised $74,000 cash through the annual Pedal for the Park bike-a-thon event. This will add to the $30,000 allocated from the Lake County Recreation Department. A total of $230,000 is needed to construct this exciting park. Fundraising is ongoing with many grants being applied for.
