A ranger teaches safety tips and techniques for handling the park's trails, then leads the group out to practise. Participants must be at least 8 years old, and riders under 15 must be accompanied by a participating adult, so it works as a parent-and-child outing. Bring your own mountain bike (not a BMX bike), or ask to borrow one of the park's few bikes and helmets; loaner bikes require riders to be at least 5 feet tall, as there are no child-size bikes. The class is limited to 10 participants, and everyone signs a liability waiver. Register by emailing the park with your contact details and, if borrowing, your height; arrive 10 minutes early for fitting. ## Similar picks in Austin - [Golfing with a Ranger at Lockhart State Park](https://grassyknees.com/austin/activities/golfing-with-a-ranger-at-lockhart-state-park--listing-07660ad89eac2148841bdcdc) — Sat, Oct 24 · 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM · Lockhart State Park · With admission · checked Oct 20.
