\nCall me crazy but I think Burroughs Park has a ton of potential to become a premier riding spot in north Houston area. How does one go about finding out if the parks system would let us build some fun technical features out there? They’ve got a ton of land and it seems they encourage riding out there but I’m wondering if they’d allow a group like GHORBA to come in and really revamp it? I know I’d gladly help raise funds and contribute to any work parties. Any thoughts?<\/p>\n
