Station Bike Park Is Set to Close Its Gate for Good

Less than two years after opening, Station Mountain Bike Park in Texas is set to close its gates for good at the end of the month.

Founded by then–high school student Rhett Jones, the park was the first of its kind in the region. Launched in late 2023, it quickly became a must-visit destination for jump-hungry riders in the Lone Star State. What began as a $350,000 seed investment from nearly 20 backers was promised to deliver Texas a public mountain bike destination that could overhaul the region’s otherwise small scene.

The park featured over 20 trails, ranging from beginner to double black, and boasted some of the largest public jumps in the state. But from the start, the steep costs of maintenance, operations, and investor expectations loomed large. And in the words of Jones himself, “It can never be anywhere near profitable enough to justify the investment.”

With the 130-acre property listed at $3.75 million, that’s an undoubtedly tough price tag for just about any bike park to justify. Unless someone out there wants to pony up a few million dollars, it seems the land is set to return to market as scenic rural property i nthe Texas Hill Country.

A closing jam is set for October 25–26, giving riders one last chance to celebrate. The weekend will be a send-off full of riding, camping, and community—the very things that made Station special over the last couple of years.

So let this be the final call: if any millionaire Texas mountain bikers have ever dreamed of owning a bike park, now might be your time.
