The Raccoon Creek Bike Park, sponsored by Mountain Credit Union, remains closed to the public as construction continues on the site, which is still an active work zone. 

Haywood County officials appreciate the community’s patience as work moves forward on the project and is anticipated to open in Summer 2026. 

Once complete, the Raccoon Creek Bike Park will be a family-friendly outdoor amenity designed to serve riders of all ages and skill levels. The park will provide a safe and welcoming space for recreation, skill development, and community programming. 

Planned features include a bike pump track and skills course, a playground, a pavilion with picnic tables, restrooms, water drinking fountains, and a walking track—creating a multi-use destination for both riders and non-riders. 

In addition to open recreation, Haywood County looks forward to offering youth programming at the park, including opportunities for children to learn how to ride safely using a county-owned fleet of bicycles. These programs will focus on bike safety, confidence-building, and healthy outdoor activity. 

Although construction activity may pause at times due to weather-related delays, work on the pavilion and other park features is ongoing. For public safety, community members are asked to stay clear of the site until construction is complete and the park officially opens. 

Additional details, including an official opening date and programming information, will be shared as the project nears completion.
