There are frogs in the ponds of Mountain View Park, and they don't mind if we ride by!

While not a destination for mountain bikers, those wishing to squeeze as much trail into their ride often find themselves exiting through Mountain View Park. Historically, local youth had built some stunts in the area, and with increasing use by hikers, dog-walkers, and mountain bikers, there were so many braided trails it was hard to take the same path twice.

The issue surrounding whether or not mountain biking was having an negative impact on the parks wildlife didn't surface until 2003 during public consultation for the Residents Only Parking initiative.

The NSMBA was proactive in addressing the lack of a defined trail through the park, and worked with the District of North Vancouver to define a route and enhance the trail through the park.
