The tag leisure=bike_park is used to map a bike park: an area designed for recreational cycling or skill practice, often featuring man-made obstacles, dirt jumps, berms, technical trail features, pump tracks, or skills loops. These facilities can be aimed at BMX, mountain biking, dirt jumping, freeride, or urban cycling skills.

A downhill mountain bike facility covering a large area may be mapped as multiple leisure=bike_park polygons for distinct zones, or with mtb:scale=* to indicate difficulty.

How to map

  • If there is a clearly defined physical outline (fence, boundary, vegetation, or facility perimeter), draw an area area around it and add leisure=bike_park.
  • If the bike park consists of individual features without a clear outer boundary, draw a node node at the centre and tag it with leisure=bike_park.
  • Additional details such as surface, lighting, or difficulty level can be added with surface=*, lit=*, and mtb:scale=*.
  • If the facility is disused, its status can be indicated using the Lifecycle prefix, e.g. disused:leisure=bike_park or abandoned:leisure=bike_park.

Tags used in combination

  • bicycle=* – Indicates general bicycle access (yes/no/designated)
  • mtb:scale=* – Difficulty rating for mountain bike trails or features
  • surface=* – Describes the main surface (e.g., dirt, asphalt, concrete)
  • lit=* – Whether the area is lit at night
  • access=* – To specify public, private, or restricted access

Examples

Covered and indoor bike parks

Indoor or covered bike parks should be mapped as separate node node or area area objects inside the building outline. A covered park should be tagged with covered=yes, an indoor one with indoor=yes and possibly level=*.
