Dirt School will be a bicycle playground and skills park–introducing young riders to off-road cycling skills and preparing them for Burchfield Park’s 12 miles of singletrack trails. In addition to serving kids and families, Dirt School will be used by Burchfield’s popular summer day camps and Capital Youth Cycling’s Adventure Bike Club programs.
