Don't Forget! We're going to see the shiny new THTB bobcat and get the outpost trails dialed in for the cool weather coming! see you at 9!

Saturday Sep 26th will be our second work day to help get Rocky Branch Park into top shape for the cooler riding season!

We’re going to be doing brush cutting on all the jump lines and a few other places as well as resurfacing as much of the outpost trails as we can.

Meet at 9am in the Belmont parking lot. We’ll all head down to the Outpost deck together and work from there.

Bring gloves, eye protection and plenty of hydration!

Everyone welcome and if you’ve not been a to a work day before, no problem!

Rocky Branch Park continues to grow thanks to the incredible dedication of our community’s young leaders! 🙌
A huge THANK YOU to Cooper Saas for his outstanding Eagle Scout project. Another wonderful addition to Rocky Branch Park that our whole community can enjoy for years to come.
Cooper joins a proud tradition of Eagle and Boy Scouts who have poured their time, talent, and hard work into making this park a better place for all of us. These projects don’t just improve the park, they reflect the character and commitment of the young people behind them.
We are so grateful, Cooper. Congratulations on a job well done! 🦅⚜️ if you have not donated, please check the link in bio to cover Coopers material costs and support future projects in the park.

Update from Cooper Saas on the Eagle Scout Project:

We’re a little over one month in and so far we’ve…

Transported and installed over 18,000 pounds of material

We have had more than 30 people volunteer more than 400 hours

We have raised over 3000$

We are hoping to have project close to being done after our last workday this Saturday

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already made amazing progress on this project. We’re still raising funds to fully complete it, and any additional support would go a long way in helping us finish strong and leave a lasting impact. Thank you!

Cooper Saas is a local Eagle Scout who spends a lot of time at Rocky Branch Park, whether it is hiking, walking, or biking. As his Eagle Scout project, he's chosen to give back to the community by improving the park for everyone to enjoy.

You may have already noticed construction underway near the Outpost trails. Cooper is building a new observation deck overlooking the trails, and he needs your support to fund the materials to make it happen.

Check out his video below, and please consider donating if you're able to!
