Denton Offroad Trails Association

Denton Parks and Recreation is partnering with Denton Off-road Trails Association and Big Pig Racing Mission to construct a mountain bike trail in South Lakes Park. Preparation work for the trail site will begin this weekend, which will include volunteers assisting with the targeted removal of privet using hand tools.

Previously, the Environmental Services and Sustainability Department worked with Parks and Recreation to develop a standard operating procedure (SOP) for privet removal and habitat restoration on park property. The SOP focuses on pre-activity inspection, removal strategies, public education and involvement, restoration planning, and follow-up activities. In addition, staff have created a Discuss Denton page dedicated to privet removal communications.
