On Wednesday on March 27th, 2024 an eager group of trail enthusiasts gathered in Tilden Park to improve a section of trail under the direction and leadership of the East Bay Regional Parks District.
This work session brought together high school mountain bike coaches from the El Cerrito, Berkeley, Oakland-Skyline and Piedmont teams as well as BTCEB members and board members to help fix some challenging drainage on the Curran Trail. The trail, which runs from near Lake Anza diagonally across the park toward Inspiration Point is heavily used by cyclists because of its relatively gentle grade.
EBRPD staff were eager to work with adults on this first trail workday as a sort of trial run with the idea of having future work sessions that could include students many of whom ride Tilden on a weekly basis.
Credit for setting up this successful event goes to the coaches and a shout out to EBRPD staff in attendance, including trail planners Sean Connely and Suzzane Wilson, as well as Tilden park ranger Cole Sanchez. See you at the next work day in Tilden!
