I like to call Jacksonville's Forest Park a diamond in the rough. Yes the roads are rough and yes the trails are rough. But all they need is some polishing. SOFA is involved with the city of Jacksonville's plan to create a non motorized multi use trail system which encompasses 1800 acres that will incorporate DH and Freeride only trails into the mix. The city's property is surrounded by BLM and MRA (Motorcycle Riders Association) land. Both have given the go ahead to build new and reclaim old trails. We created and opened about 3 miles of new trail this winter for the Jacksonville Bike Fest. We are currently in discussion with the city on a developing a freeride area. The city has acquired 30k in grant money to repair the rough access road. Things are moving along and you definitely won't be hearing the last of this diamond in the rough ! Thanks for the write up !
