Was taking the shortcut north behind Lane Tech the other day and looked into the woods in Clark Park along the river and saw what looked like several 3-6 foot high "mounds" of varying shapes and sizes, all within the woods. It looked like it may have been a DIY dirt bike or skater area. Definitely looked to have some human shaping, rather than natural growth. Anyone know anything about this?

It seems like this was discussed a few months ago. Do I recall there was some type of track in that area and part of Riverview was in there too?

That is the The Garden-Chicago Dirt Jumps I believe you are seeing Deejo.

I was curiously riding a 10-speed through that section of trees a few years ago.
Yes. They were DIY dirt trail humps
But the low spots are more interesting as you realize its the Riverview Fairway pavement.
