Department Project Title Project Number
Parks and Recreation Fossil Creek Park Mountain Bike Trails PK2007
Project Description
This project will provide for the development of mountain biking/hiking trails within Fossil Creek Park. The 58.5 acre park contains
beautiful natural areas comprised of mature hardwood trees, a mixture of grasslands and riparian habitats, all of which are ideally
suited to hiking and mountain biking. Project improvements include approximately 5 miles of trails serviced by a small parking lot
and associated park use signage.

Project Justification
Improvements to Fossil Creek Park were identified as a priority in the update to the Park System Master Plan. Because a majority of
the park lies within the Fossil Creek floodway and options for significant development are very limited, hiking and mountain biking
trails present an ideal opportunity for a popular recreational use with very little development impact. Mountain biking has grown in
popularity over the past decade as an estimated 50 million Americans mountain bike.

The project will be implemented through a partnership with the Fort Worth Mountain Bike Association (FWMBA) to develop and
maintain the trails.

Note: Project funding is provided by Park Impact Fee Reserves.
