Park Hours
Sunderbruch trails are open 24 hours a day which make them a great place to night ride. Be aware the main park gates are locked by the city around sunset. Make sure you park in the lot just off of Telegraph road and outside this main gate if you plan on using the park after sunset. People have been locked in before!
Trail Closures
The dirt trails at the park are closed to all users when wet and muddy to prevent damage. Trails also close during winter and spring freeze thaw cycles when the soil is extremely sensitive to rutting and soil displacement. Check the trail status before you head out to the park in the upper left corner of this page.
