Rockburn Skills Park
Home Page
Howard County dedicated the land in Rockburn Branch Park for the project; IMBA flew in world-class trail engineers and designers; and MORE raised the funding, managed the project, and provided hundreds of hours of volunteer effort. The final product was donated to the park system on June 2, 2012 and is free for the public to use. The park includes a pump track and three downhill lines: one for beginners, one for intermediate riders, and one for more advanced riders. This is a family-first facility where Howard County kids and adults can hone their bicycle riding skills.

This is a community effort and the response from all of you has been fantastic. Thank you for all you are doing to create a very successful Mountain Bike Skills Park in the Mid-Atlantic region, we are getting international exposure with IMBA and the kudos are pouring in!
Helmets are required for ALL ages at ALL times
When you visit the park, please be aware that Howard County Park Law requires all bicyclists wear a bicycle safety helmet when riding on public property. This includes roadways, trails, sidewalks, and the Rockburn Skills Park. This requirement is above the requirements set by the county or state. Remember...ALL AGES at ALL TIMES.
See the new trails – Video
All of the trails are open in the Skills Park. Check the hotline to see if they are closed due to rain. Thank you to Brian Rayford Studios, www.m5signs.com, for putting together this video so everyone can see the new trails in action.
How to Know when the Skills park is Open/Closed??
If you want to know if the trails are open before you head over, call the weather closures hotline: 410-313-4455. HoCo Recs and Parks updates their hotline regularly to let you know what parts of the park are open and closed - the Skills Park has been added to the hotline. Also, the park has a sign they are posting at the track to let you know if it is closed due to rain, etc. Always assume the day of rain, and for the next 24 hours, it will likely be closed.
