It can be difficult to find a safe place to ride your bike in a large city. Chamizal National Memorial offers over a mile and a half of trails right in the center of the city that are perfect for biking enthusiasts. After you hit the trails outside, bike racks at the entrance to the Cultural Center invite you to stay for a while and enjoy the museum exhibits inside.

Pedal-powered bicycles are welcome on all of the trails throughout the park, as well as the parking lot and roadway. Electric bikes (E-bikes) are a fun and modern way to enjoy the outdoors. At Chamizal, E-bikes operating on electric power are only allowed in the parking lot and roadway. However, under human power they can take to the trails as well!

Though bicycles are welcome on the trails, all other wheeled vehicles such as skates, skateboards and scooters are not allowed. To help protect our park and keep it a safe place for all to visit, bikes are not allowed on pedestrian sidewalks or on the esplanade in front of the Cultural Center.

Don't forget to be safe and follow all applicable laws and regulations. Please see the Superintendent's Compendium for more details about rules and regulations in the park.
