For this bike skills park sidewalk restroom and storage pavilion building, Romtec provided turnkey services, including designing, supplying, and building the sidewalk restroom and storage pavilion building, for the addition of a bike skills park at Cedar Lanes Park in Auburn, Washington. We worked with the City of Auburn to bring this bike skills park sidewalk restroom and storage pavilion building to life for the upgrades to the park.
The addition of the bike skills park required a new restroom facility and pavilion storage building, which Romtec designed and supplied to help support the new pump track area. The storage pavilion will store bikes and other equipment for the bike track.

These recent improvements include four bike skills zones including a single-track flow trail, skinny zone, drop zone, and jump trails. The park is beginner friendly, and the trails are for non-motorized bikes only.
