About
Sedona is internationally known for its mountain biking trails — and the Sedona Bike Skills Park was built to give kids (and adults learning) a safe place to develop fundamental trail skills before taking on the real thing.
Located at Posse Grounds Park on Posse Ground Road, this free-to-use facility has a proper pump track, multiple berms, rollers, and features calibrated to beginner through advanced riders. The progression is thoughtful: young kids who just learned to ride a bike can build speed and balance on the gentle pump track, while older kids and teens can work up to steeper berms and technical features.
For families visiting Sedona who brought bikes (or are willing to rent locally), this is a genuinely excellent stop. It's free, it's fun, and it tires kids out completely. The pump track in particular is addictive — once a kid figures out how to generate speed through the rhythm bumps without pedaling, they'll loop it over and over.
Practical details: Bring helmets — they're essential here. Knee and elbow pads are smart for kids still developing bike skills. There's no food or water on site, so pack thoroughly. The park shares the Posse Grounds complex, which has restrooms and picnic tables, making it easy to take a break mid-session.
Timing matters in Sedona. Summer heat peaks by 10am — plan a 7-9:30am session or wait until after 5pm. Spring and fall are ideal for all-day riding. The 4.8-star rating reflects a genuinely well-built facility that the local biking community takes seriously.

Why Kids Love It
This purpose-built bike skills park has pump tracks, berms, and progressive features that teach kids real trail skills in a safe, controlled environment. Kids who are nervous about mountain biking on real trails can build confidence here without the stakes of a hillside. The pump track loop is especially addictive — kids will lap it 50 times.
