Summary

Olympia is set to turn a lush, 70-acre forested site—once Kaiser Woods—into Marj Yung Park, a brand-new mountain bike haven with 3.5 miles of fresh trails and revamped existing paths. Scheduled for groundbreaking in 2026, the project includes restrooms, a 25-stall lot, and stormwater systems, all designed to blend recreation with environmental care. While biking fans are thrilled, neighbors worry about noise and traffic—concerns the city is actively addressing through adjustments like rerouting trail access. E-bikes (Class 1 & 2 only) will be allowed, and overflow parking may be shared with a nearby church. This park aims to welcome riders of all levels, boost community wellness, and become a regional magnet for outdoor adventure—all while balancing nature and neighborhood needs.
