WHO: Dirtjumpers and Free Riders
Coral Center Web Page
WHAT: Coral Center at Lory State Park
WHERE: Take Harmony (C.R. 38E) west to C.R. 23, turn right. Turn left at t-intersection onto C.R. 23/Centennial Dr until you get to CR. 25G. Take a left on C.R. 25G and that will take you directly to the park.
WHEN: Open year round. Weather permitting though
WHY: Coral Center is a Dirt Jumpers paradise! With jumps from beginner to advanced, 6 ft dirt kickers, this place can entertain and polish up just about any rider. The Center has 4 dirt jump routes to ride so you can find your gaps and timing and utilize them to the maximum. The Center also has a 2 separate skills areas and a pump track. This pump track is fast, let me tell you! Without cranking, you work on your technique pumping your bike to get through the course. This pump course is the first of its kind in NorCo. One word of warning for when you decide to ride this track; use thorn resistant tires pumped full of tire goo and bring spares! During summer the Goat Heads are out in full force and can ruin your day if you are not prepared. The park does cost I believe $5 for a day pass or you can park outside Lory and ride in for free; the Coral Center is only about a two minute ride from the entrance to the park and makes for a good warm up.

Coral Center Rating: $$$$$

Rated 5 out of 5 for being a pioneering track in NorCo, for seeing the need and for filling the void of free style riding locations.
