Simon Lawton, owner of the Seattle cycling store, Fluidride, asked the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department c. 1998 about whether a mountain bike trail could be built within the city. The Backcountry Bicycle Trails Club, later renamed the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, raised $170,000 to build the park and its members volunteered 14,000 of their hours to build it. Previously, the site, located under US Interstate 5 between Lakeview Boulevard and Franklin Avenue East, was home to transients and drug addicts, who left the noman's land filled with discarded hypodermic needles.

This was mountain bike course located under Interstate 5 between the Eastlake and Capitol Hill Neighborhoods.
