The Burnaby Mountain Bike Skills Facility promotes progressive skill development in an engaging environment frull of challenges, yet can be enjoyed regardless of any age or abilitiy level. It includes dirt jumps, hillside technical features, north shore style and berm descent with straight and curved wall rides. The lower flat area consists of a bike skills development area, with a wide range of technical riding elements such as a wooden triangular pump track, speed trials, balance box, teeter totters and various log and rock challenges.

The wood pump track allows riders to pick up speed riding through a series of loops, berms and rollers around a track and sustain their momentum through it.

Slopestyle course incorporates man made technical trail features and dirt jumping in a course on a falling grade where the choice of the line is up to the skills of the rider. The Slopestyle course is for the intermediate and advanced riders.

Beginner/Novice Area targets younger riders, new riders and confidence deficient. The technical trail features are low to the ground and at the easiest end of the difficulty spectrum with no or little consequence.

The North Shore Area includes a variety of technical trail features designed for various skill levels allowing for the development and progression of bike handling skills. These include a number of wooden constructed features such as skinnies, elevated ladder bribridge rides, balance box, drops and teeter totters.

Dirt pump track which allows riders to warm up, hone their skills and “pump” their way through the course.

Dirt Jumps: table top dirt jumps side by side running down a slope: one beginner, one intermediate and one advanced.

Looming over the park is a 12-metre curved wooden wall ride where advanced riders can test their skills.

Details such as difficulty rating markers (beginner, intermediate and advanced) are posted throughout the park to advise riders of the degree of difficulty.
