Fayetteville bike skills area coming to town park
FAYETTEVILLE, WV (WVNS) – Outdoor recreation in Fayette County is expanding with a recently announced update to a local latest addition to Fayetteville Town Park, a bike skills area aims to serve parkgoers both young and old. Construction on the addition got underway just a week ago, but folks are already excited for the expansion.
The area will feature three distinct trails at different skill levels to allow guests to work on their biking skills, offering beginners and advanced bikers alike the opportunity to ride.

Fayette Trail Coalition Vice President, Abbie Newell told 59News that the bike skills area is being brought in to compliment popular park features such as the skate park and pump track as part of a larger effort to make Fayetteville an outdoor recreation hub for Southern West Virginia.'The idea of the skills park is just a progressive skills building area,' she said. 'People of all ages will get to play and enhance their skill set. It's close proximity to a lot of other recreational assets.'
The Fayetteville bike skills area was made possible in part by congressionally directed spending funds earmarked through Senators Manchin and Capito, along with the collaborative efforts of multiple local organizations.
