Olympia City Council is seeking approval for a new public mountain biking park at 2549 Black Lake Blvd SW. The project, called Kaiserwood Bike Park, would develop 71 acres with 3. 5 miles of trails, two pump tracks, skills stations, a restroom, and parking. The city submitted a Conditional Use Permit application on May 28, 2026.

The park would be located on city-owned land near Black Lake. The proposal includes a new road and infrastructure. The city’s application is now open for public comment until July 26, 2026. Thurston County will review the project under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).

The city plans to host public meetings to gather feedback. The project follows a trend of expanding recreational facilities in the area. Residents can submit comments through Thurston County’s online portal or at public hearings.
