Vashon Area Mountain Pedalers

We had some great help from Americorp volunteers to clear more of the scotch broom from the fields at the BARC.  The Burton Adventure Recreation Park is expanding to incorporate a jump park, pump track, and skills course.

After today’s work party most of the disc golf course is cleared.  Sensitive areas are marked for the tractor which will hopefully arrive sometime soon to clear a majority of the noxious plant life from the plot.  This will leave us with a large number of yound doug firs, pines, and madronas to place around the park.

Getting involved in the work parties is a great way to meet new people, get involved, learn something new, and break a sweat.  We’ve been pitching in snacks, drinks, and now a fire pit!  Tools are provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own.

If you’re interested in riding on the island, this is a great place to get started.  Making progressive moves here in this parks will help raise the park district’s awareness of the local biking community and pave the way for more recreation opportunities.  Stay tuned for the next party dates (probably in January).

Happy holidays!
