After a 2009 ice storm destroyed the mountain bike trails at Ben Hawes park the City of Owensboro put up\u00c2\u00a0$25,000 to revitalize the trail. Since 2010 the\u00c2\u00a0Kentucky Mountain Bike Association (SW KyMBA) has\u00c2\u00a0worked closely with Owensboro\u00c2\u00a0Parks & Recreation along with\u00c2\u00a0Spectrum Trail Design to build new trails. Now with 9 miles of professionally designed and constructed, bike optimized trails, it’s become a very popular destination..<\/p>\n
