I would change the status on the home page but my logins don't work anymore.  I guess I made somebody mad.

Rode there for first time this week.  Strava says about 2.5 miles. There are some advanced/unique obstacles out there but overall I would say a green-blue.  Enter behind park office literally right behind home plate of field.  Compared to BYT and Marion Diehl around the corner, I didn't think there was much elevation except a few turns.  Fun trail though, still very new, and looks like a lot of work has been put into it.  

Same as you though, I had been unable to find a trail map. Happy to screenshot Strava and post it if that would help out.

The total length of both sections depending on the accuracy of your wheel sensor is 3.4 to 3.6 miles.

And you would be correct on the intended trail difficulty.  It being in a park and having greater access to more beginners was taken into consideration for the design by climber and worker-rider.  It's more a gateway trail to BYT and MD but still plenty fun.

Good to know.  Sounds like a good kid trail option.

Not sure how much this will help but see attached. Apparently I may have missed something too since Strava came up a mile short.

You are still missing a little bit of trial. On the left side of your map the section that starts at the restroom house goes all the way up to the recycling center.

Rode it today for the first time, nice little trail, little bit of everything in there, but not too intense. Perfect for an after work shuttle on the way home. thanks Trailblazers! great work!

Loved the big jump, I'm sure I only got a couple of inches of air, but I felt like a steel framed superman!

Rode it for the first time yesterday, very nice! I think its actually a little more moderately technical than advertised, mostly due to how tight a few spots are and some rocky patches, though those look more gnarly than they are. It's a perfect intro to the main side of BYT imo. A few laps here will probably become my preferred after work ride instead of Renni.
