Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District’s Board of Directors has approved a project to construct a youth oriented pump track within the current footprint of the Fair Oaks Bike Park at Phoenix Park. The project was proposed by a local non-profit, Family Freeride, that is dedicated to creating opportunities to get kids on bikes.
The pump track was designed with the help of professional services and was constructed from dirt. The goal of its design was to incorporate the existing elements of the bike park while adding additional features for the public to enjoy.
Thanks to Family Freeride and the Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District Board of Directors, an additional $25,000 was supplied to the Bike Park Pump Track project in order to install an irrigation system (in order to maintain the form of the track and perform maintenance) and a gate so as to close the park during inclement weather to prevent damage to the dirt track.
At this stage in construction, the irrigation has been installed by District Staff. Staff is currently awaiting the final quotes from local companies to fabricate and install the rolling gate at the front of the park.

Thanks to a private donation from an passionate Fair Oaks Dog Park family, the drainage at the north end of the dog park, shared between areas one and two of the dog park, is being improved. The new pad and drainage area is roughly doubling in size, and the French drain is being redirected and enhanced to allow for appropriate drainage without flooding the dog park user areas. The new pad should better contain loose water; it is designed to allow for District staff to clean out the drainage system when needed, and the water spigots are being upgraded to current water conservation requirements.
In addition, the donation allows for replacement of trash receptacles in the area.

Together with local community members, a nine-hole disc golf course is being installed in Miller Park. The course will utilize much of the open space within the park’s boundaries. The course will include concrete and aggregate tee pads, professional grade disc golf baskets, bench seating, new trash receptacles, and all the appropriate signage such as course maps, hole maps, caution signage for flying discs, and course rules and etiquette.
Construction slowly continues on the Miller Park Disc Golf Course as other projects create delays in the time line. Currently, District staff is collecting design options for a welcome sign and kiosk at the beginning of the course. Other projects are still upcoming. These projects include a “drop zone” at holes two and seven, some steps at several holes to prevent slip hazards, gravel walk paths through some areas that see heavy traffic, additional safety signage throughout the course, tree plantings in strategic locations to assist in course safety, course etiquette and rules signs, a disc return box for lost and found discs, and benches throughout the course to provide seating to residents.
Fair Oaks Recreation & Park District’s primary focus is safety. The District strives to provide a space in which legacy users and new user groups can coexist in a safe, enjoyable space.
