Commissioners consider pump-track for Twisp; DNR trust parcel seen as better fit than Mill Hill
Summary
Planner Vetter relayed a local proposal for a pump track needing about 10,000 sq ft. The Commission discussed Mill Hill’s constraints and suggested pursuing DNR trust land as a more suitable site while continuing community outreach and feasibility checks.
Planner Vetter told the Parks and Recreation Commission that a friend had suggested siting a pump track in Twisp and identified the top-left corner of the Mill Town property as a potential parcel, noting the feature would require at most about 10,000 square feet. Commissioners questioned whether Mill Hill is configured to accommodate cyclists and hikers together and discussed alternative locations.
After reviewing site constraints, the Commission agreed the DNR trust lands parcel is likely a better fit than Mill Hill for a pump track and that further feasibility work and public outreach would be needed before any formal proposal. No formal action was taken at the meeting; the discussion was exploratory and commissioners emphasized next steps would include evaluating access, sizing and compatibility with existing trail users.
