Ground was officially broken on the trail-building phase at Stone Eater Bike Park. The 110-acre former landfill located just off of U.S. 52 is being transformed into a world class bike park with the help of Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IDEC) sponsored READI Grant funds, as well as American Rescue Plan, private sponsorship, and money from the city’s sanitation fund. Lebanon Mayor Matt Gentry stated, “The journey to make Stone Eater Bike Park a reality has taken on many ups and downs, including a legal battle, and a global pandemic. Adding this amenity provides another great outdoor option for residents and visitors of all ages.” The design for the park was performed by Hilride Progression Development Group. Trail construction will be performed by PumpTrax USA. A park ribbon-cutting is tentatively slated for late October.
