Fundraising Efforts Gain Ground for Stafford Lake Off-Road Bike Park

Plans and fundraising are going well for the proposed off-road bike park on some undeveloped hillsides at Stafford Lake County Park in Novato, according to a story in the Marin Independent Journal. 

Steve Petterle, the principal planner for Marin County parks, said donation from "a patron in the bicycle industry" and a $50,000 challenge grant from the Marin County Board of Supervisors would help push the project toward a groundbreaking ceremony. The public has already contrbuted $33,000 toward the effort, he told the IJ.
