Proposed Marolt / Thomas Skill Trails Sparks Community Engagement and Input
Project Overview:
The City of Aspen Park’s Department is excited to announce a new project in collaboration with Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association (RFMBA) aimed at enhancing the recreational offerings for our community.
The proposed Marolt / Thomas Skill Trails has initiated a public engagement campaign to gather feedback and provide further information about this project. The city has organized a series of community engagement opportunities designed to inform, educate, and seek input from our valued residents.
The proposed location of this project lies in the Thomas parcel of the Marolt / Thomas Open Space. Nestled between Castle Creek Road and Marolt Place, this location remains separate from many Marolt Open Space activities such as the Community Garden or Aspen Paragliding. Please see the proposed trails rendering and ariel map below.
Currently, the outreach phase for this project has concluded. The Open Space and Trails Board and Aspen City Council are reviewing the input from residents. The City of Aspen values the input of our residents, and we look forward to utilizing that feedback to shape a valued amenity that benefits our community while also preserving our natural resources. For future updates on this project, please follow this page.
Past Outreach:
Survey: During the outreach phase of this project, we are conducting a survey to gather public perceptions regarding the proposed bike skill trails. This survey has concluded.
Site Visit: To help community members visualize the location and better understand how this trail would function, we will be hosting an on-site event featuring walking tours of the Marolt / Thomas area. This event will offer a hands-on opportunity to explore the potential trail route and its benefits.The site visit was held at the proposed Marolt / Thomas location on October 19, 2023.
Information Session: Leading up to the November Open Space and Trails Board meeting, we will hold an informational session. This session will serve as a platform for project leaders to showcase detailed plans, maps, and visuals of the proposed bike skill trail. Community members are encouraged to attend this session, ask questions, and provide feedback.This information session was held on November 16, 2023.

Many members of the community are strongly OPPOSED to this proposed project but haven't taken the time to express their concerns. Let's keep the open space pristine as was the original intention. Does this project entail a vote by Council to rezone the parcel?

Thank you! This project would be a much needed addition to the upper valley to get kids into mountain biking. Our amazing existing trails are too hard and technical for beginners, especially for the 10y and under kids. And location near many of our schools is brilliant. I hope we get this under way soon!
