LPST Signs on as Sponsor for Castle Rock Bike Park 
Longview Physical & Sports Therapy and Longview Orthopedic Associates recently signed on as sponsors for the Castle Rock Bike Park.
Located on three acres near the River Walk Trail along the Cowlitz River, the park promises to be a destination stop for Northwest mountain bikers. The Castle Rock City Council gave the go-ahead for the project in November.
A scrape-off of the site in late June was followed by construction of the beginner and intermediate pump tracks on July 10th.
An expert track, three jump lines, an extensive skills area, and a perimeter trail are also in the works.
All facets of the project – including design, fundraising, construction, and landscaping – are being handled by Growlers Gulch Racing (GRR), a local mountain biking group.
John Kowalski of Longview Physical & Sports Therapy and Jack Berry of Pacific Imaging Center are both GGR members.
Bruce Blackstone, MD, called the bike park “a great community asset” and said it’s the type of project LOA is happy to support.
The construction phase requires dirt, water and strong backs
Pump tracks feature plenty of rollers and berms for generating speed
The beginner pump track was designed to fit inside the intermediate track at the Castle Rock Bike Park
