The Chestnut Family Foundation donated over $1,000,000 to MTB Atlanta to build more than 20 new miles of multi-use trails across eight parks in Metro Atlanta. These funds will also support the development of a new hard surface pump track at Pitner Road Park in Cobb County. All of the projects supported by this grant had been “shovel ready” (in existence) and will now be brought to completion for mountain bikers, runners, and hikers alike to enjoy. The Chestnut Family Foundation is proud to partner with MTB Atlanta! We are excited to help expand the landscape of mountain biking and outdoor recreation in our city and surrounding communities.
MTB Atlanta manages a trail network of more 160 miles of trails in 29 different parks across Metro Atlanta area. The organization partners with the National Parks Service, US Army Corps of Engineers, Georgia State Parks, and multiple municipalities and counties in the Metro Atlanta area. MTB Atlanta is a membership bases non-profit organization of 450+ members across the metro region.
