Lavoie Bike Park: Fun Trails for Kids in Gorham, ME

A place where riding becomes play, and trails turn into something kids want to return to again and again.

There’s something different about a space built specifically for movement—where kids aren’t just walking a trail, but interacting with it.

At Lavoie Bike Park, tucked into the Frazier Preserve, riding becomes the main event. Families come here to practice, to explore, and to let kids build confidence one small loop at a time.

This is more than a trail system—it’s a growing community-built space designed for all levels, from first rides on a balance bike to riders looking for flow, features, and progression.

What Makes This Spot Different

Pump Track (The Heart of the Park)

Two children riding bikes on a dirt track in a park with trees in the background.

This is where most families start—and often where they stay the longest.

A series of rolling hills (“rollers”) lets riders move through the track by shifting their weight instead of pedaling.

Works for beginners through advanced riders
Perfect for balance bikes and pedal bikes
Easy to loop again and again without stopping

It’s one of those rare features that holds attention—kids naturally want to keep trying “one more lap.”

Balance Bike Track

A child riding a bicycle through a forest with tall pine trees and a dirt path.

For younger riders, this smaller-scale loop gives them a place to ride without pressure from bigger kids.

Designed for early riders learning balance
Gentle features and smaller rollers
A great entry point before moving to the main track

Single Track Trails (Including Knolly Roller)

A person riding a bicycle on a dirt jump track surrounded by trees.

Beyond the open track area, the park connects into wooded singletrack that winds through the preserve.

Trails like Knolly Roller offer smooth, flowing riding
Twists, turns, and small features keep it interesting
Part of a larger network with miles of connected riding

These trails are where kids start to feel like they’re really “riding through the woods,” not just practicing.

Skills Zone (For Progression & Play)

A cyclist performing a jump on a dirt trail in a forested area, surrounded by trees and wooden ramps.

For kids (and adults) ready for more, the skills area adds challenge and creativity.

Features like small jumps, drops, and berms
Built for progression—not just speed
Encourages trying new things at your own pace

This is where confidence builds—slowly at first, then all at once.

The Setting: Frazier Preserve

The surrounding preserve adds a completely different feel to the experience.

Wetlands, forest, and quiet wooded paths
Boardwalks and bridges along some routes
An easy trail system that connects into larger networks

It’s common to see families mix both—riding for a while, then walking to explore.

A Park That Keeps Growing

This isn’t a finished space—and that’s part of what makes it special.

New trails and features are added regularly
A picnic pavilion was under construction during a recent visit in Spring 2026
Ongoing volunteer and community involvement continues to shape it

It feels like a place being built with the community, not just for it.

A Small Detail Kids Love: Gnomes

Hidden throughout the area, you may come across small “gnomes” placed along the trails.

They turn a ride into a bit of a scavenger hunt—kids start looking for them without even being asked.

(There’s more information about these online, and it’s worth a quick search before you go.)

Tips for Families

Start at the pump track—even older kids warm up here
Bring bikes for all skill levels (this spot truly accommodates everyone)
Weekday mornings or early visits tend to be quieter
Expect mud in spring or after rain in wooded sections (do not ride if wet)

Why Families Keep Coming Back

This is the kind of place that grows with your kids.

At first, it’s a balance bike loop.
Then it’s laps on the pump track.
Then it’s trails, features, and independence.

And somewhere along the way, it becomes a regular stop—one of those places you don’t need to plan, because you already know it works.
