OZ Trails Bike Park

What OZ Trails Bike Park does

OZ Trails Bike Park, operated by OZ Venture, LLC, is a 200-acre chairlift-assisted gravity mountain bike park in Bella Vista, Arkansas that opened June 12, 2026 as the first lift-served mountain bike park in the state. The park is built on 20+ miles of gravity trails engineered by Gravity Logic (the firm behind Whistler Mountain Bike Park), with progressive design scaling from novice to expert and slopestyle lines built for repeated professional sessions. On-site, the 15,000 sqft OZ HQ facility houses a restaurant, retail center, bike shop, and event space, anchoring a Twin-City approach that links Bentonville and Bella Vista.

The park is the flagship of the broader OZ Trails Northwest Arkansas network, which spans 550+ miles of singletrack across systems including Slaughter Pen, Coler MTB Preserve, Back 40, Little Sugar, and Lake Leatherwood. Adjacent product lines include OZ Gravel (curated gravel routes launched 2023), the Adaptive Cycling Program (AMTB 1-3 rated trails with Trailblazers), and branded merchandise via OZ Life Shop and 13+ local retailers. The technology stack is primarily mechanical and physical infrastructure (chairlift, trail network), augmented by integrations with TrailForks, MTB Project, and Strava for community engagement and route data.

Revenue is generated through six identified streams: lift tickets and day passes, food and beverage operations (OZ HQ restaurant plus Airship at Coler), retail merchandise (OZ Life Shop and partner retailers), bike shop services and repairs, founding memberships for early supporters, and referral arrangements with 11+ shuttle/guide/rental partners (Phat Tire, 37N Expeditions, Ozark Bike Guides, WOZ, others). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans mountain bikers from novice to expert, families with children, adaptive cyclists, and gravel riders — a horizontally segmented, transaction-driven consumer destination rather than enterprise software or B2B services.
