WestLake Dirt Jumps

Bozeman’s Westlake dirt jumps have been and continue to be centerpiece of the local biking community for years to come. They’re a gathering place, a place for riders to push their freestyle skills, and an outdoor space for the neighborhood in the center of the city.

Unfortunately, as Midtown Bozeman has developed, new construction and infrastructure upgrades forced half the features to be destroyed. That’s the bad news.

The good news is SWMMBA and its partners facilitated the rebuilding of these amazing jumps—bigger and better than ever.

With Integrated Trail Lab leading the project design and construction, the park upholds to PTBA standards and surpasses expectations. The City of Bozeman helped significantly in curating this partnership and even kicked in a bunch of cash to get the project started and finished, not to mention designer Richard Hayes has generously donated the design work as well as contractor services on the build.

A shortened timeline ;

As of May 18, 2023, we are happy to announce that the City Commission has approved getting the work done. The bidding application process should commence soon, and hopefully a local contractor will be willing and able to get the work done ASAP. We will keep everyone posted as soon as we have any more updates.

As of January 2024, the City had selected a contractor to perform the required infrastructure work. Commence date is currently TBD.

As of August 2024, the civil work has begun on the park property.

During fall 2024 Integrated Trail Labs prepped the dirt once the civil work had concluded.

During May 2025 landscaping and fencing will begin to be installed at the park.

During June 2025 Stronghold fabrication built an amazing safety fence and SWMMBA + volunteers backfilled and got start ramp ready for final grading.

July 2025 Integrated Trail Labs is scheduled to arrive for construction the final week of July.

August 2025 will have several volunteer opportunities, watch our calendar.

September 2025 Our projected opening is September 1st *fingers crossed*.

September 5th, 2025 Park is opened with future ongoing efforts to increase parks ammenities and user experience.
