I personally love this place. I would normally give 5 stars for somewhere I thoroughly enjoy but the lack of professional maintenance is bizarre considering the risk that goes along with mtb.
All the trails are mellow. You have three main lines after traversing the beginning of the trail system. Two red and a blue. In honesty, the trails would all be considered blue or less due to the flow vibe they have but the features are far from technical.
No 'Downhill' sections as this is a communal area but I believe there would be potential should they decide to upgrade the area. There are a few unofficial lines but I wouldn't recommend them as they are built by kids with shovels and have no science behind them what-so-ever.
Overall, great place to get the cardio in but falls short of an...

I have encountered dog walkers on the blue/red trails before - no idea why they're on them as signs do designate them for bike use only, but always worth keeping an eye out to avoid any nasty collisions!
Haven't used the jumps park so can't comment on it.
Overall, definitely...
