NEW IN 2024!

We are excited to offer rental reservations for the Southwoods Park Singletrack Course. This is a new 2-way directional course for both hiking and biking only. The Green Loop (.5 miles) is in place, and the Blue Loop will soon connect to the Jordan Creek Trail. Reservations should be made for any tournament or large-group event. Note that the course will be closed for public use during the reservation period.
