Nice little trail system for beginners and technical riders alike. I found some challenging, but short sections with rooty, rocky downhills and nearly impossible climbs (for me). There were some fun bridges with small hucks and steps. My only complaint is that there are too many trails in such a small area. I think that riders there have been creating their own short cuts and quick access points to their favorite areas that it has become a confusing mess of inersecting trails. It took me a while to figure out what was exactly supposed to be the routes and what was not. I had a great fun time with this trail. it is NOT a waste of time.

Mostly multi-use trails. No singletrack trail is over .5 miles long, although it seems like they are even shorter. Very confusing with dozens of intersections with short connectors to adjacent trails not on map. Some good technical challenges, but the trail was wet (no rain and 80+ all week, bad drainage I guess) making the many roots impossible to climb over. You will find more singletrack in the "lower trails" area, but again they are short and have intersections of other trails, very confusing. One good bridge followed by a 4 way intersection. The park is pretty hilly, but most climbs and descents are short, steep, wide and root filled, no real switch backs. Zero 'flow.' Stick to Town Run Trail Park or make the trek to BCSP.

As far as Indy trails go, this one is a ton of fun. Brian's Freeride is short, but alot of fun, with some cool little features. The network is a little weird at times, with trails going every which way and a bunch of peds near the entrance. There's some fun little dh sections that would challenge even the most experienced rider on the uphill. This place puts town run to shame.

How to get there: Rockville Road (SR36) west of I-465 about 9 miles to Washington Township Park (aka AVON PARK) on the south side of SR36, or take I-70 west to SR267 go north to SR36 and go west one mile to the Park on your left.

Short network of trails in a public park in Avon. The expert trails require some good bike handling skills. Has tight switchbacks, roots, rocks, and short but intense climbs and descents.
