Description
Bike Park Ireland
Bike Park Ireland was a purpose-built downhill mountain bike park at Fairymount Farm near Roscrea in North Tipperary. In its operating years it ran a pump track, six graded downhill trails from green to black (with a purple road gap feature on the hardest of the three black trails), a 2km enduro climb, and a 5km cross country loop, all served by an army truck uplift service. The bike park has been closed since 2019 and Fairymount Farm, which owns the land, currently lists it as closed until further notice.

The Trails
- Pump Track: billed by the operator as the largest pump track in Ireland, suitable for all levels on any road worthy bike.
- Green Trail: a 2km beginner descent on hardcore gravel, suitable from age 6 up, with a Blue teaser section built in.
- Blue Trail: an intermediate trail with technical sections, best suited to a full suspension bike.
- Blue Jumps Trail (also called the Free Ride Trail): approximately 1.2km of progressive table tops, rollers and flowing berms.
- Red Jumps Trail (also called the Free Ride Trail): approximately 1km of big berms, drops and table tops for experienced riders on a full suspension or downhill bike.
- Black Trail 1 and 2: expert singletrack with off camber roots, rock gardens and drops.
- Black Trail 3: expert singletrack finishing with a purple road gap jump.
- Enduro Climb: a 2km hardcore surface climb to the top of the downhill trails, taking around 15 to 30 minutes.
- XC Trail: a 5km cross country loop continuing off the Enduro Climb and the Green Trail.
The operator graded its trails a step harder than most trail centres, so a green here rode more like a typical blue elsewhere, and so on up the scale.
