OZ Trails Unveils Design for New Chairlift-Served Bike Park

More details about OZ Trails Bike Park were unveiled at a packed community open house on March 5. 

Walton-owned Runway Group first announced plans for the bike park last month. It will be located in Bella Vista along Highway 71, with the main entrance at the Mercy Way traffic light.

The park, which is scheduled to open in 2026, will expand the existing OZ Trails network and will be equipped with a high-speed chairlift system that will provide year-round lift access. It will also include a pump track, hiking trail, art walk, dining facilities, and a bike shop and rental center.
