A multi-million dollar expansion is coming to Sioux City’s Cone Park to expand recreation activities.
Plans include a 30-acre slope style biking course, which will be built near the existing tubing hill, and into the nearby wooded area.
The project will create 10-and-a-half miles of trails, which include natural surface trails, slope style courses, and “pump tracks”.
The majority of the expansion was funded by private dollars-- with the Chesterman Foundation giving a million dollars.
Monday night, the Sioux City City Council approved almost $700,000 for the project. The project is expected to increase recreation and tourism to the area.“There’s definitely nothing like this in in Iowa, it’s a destination.,” Matt Salvatore, Sioux City Parks and Recreation Director said.
