I Street User Manual
I Street is a hidden gem of the Foothills Trail System! Riders of all levels will enjoy finding new lines, challenging features, and well-built jumps, rollers, drops and more within this densely-built bike park.
1. Review the Lines
Know before you go! For new park users, be sure to scope out the trails and line choices before you drop in. Following another rider will help you find you navigate this ever-evolving network of trails. There are map kiosks at the main drop-in, the north access, and the BST East access.

2. Start Small & Come Prepared
If you are unfamiliar with jump lines and drops, walk the lines (keeping to the side of the trail to prevent damage) and try the green and blue trails. Come prepared with properly-fitting bike helmet, gloves, and elbow and knee pads.
Looking for a bike park experience that is a little less intense? Head to 9 Line Bike Park to warm up and learn jumps. Bring your little ones to Popperton Park for quick laps that are perfect for learning and warming up!

3. Pedal-Powered Bikes Only
No e-bikes, motorcycles, Surrons, e-motorcycles, one-wheels, RC cars, scooters, razors, etc. Motorized or throttled vehicles and toys create significant damage to the park, which can result in closing the park for lengthy repairs.
4. Be a Good Steward
Respect other riders and trail builders. Do not ride trails when muddy. No open fires, graffiti, and fireworks are allowed.

I Street History
Passionate local riders started building jumps and trails at I Street Bike Park in the late 1990s, utilizing land owned by Salt Lake City’s Public Utilities Department. Through dedication and hard work, this volunteer-led, bike community asset evolved over the last two decades. Roughly ten years ago, the SLC Public Lands Department partnered with Public Utilities to oversee management of the park. By engaging with local bike advocate organizations and dedicated park stewards, park management expectations and maintenance plans were put in place. Today, I Street is being maintained by a community of builders and riders who share our vision to keep the park safe and open for future generations to enjoy.
