Kiwanis Club of Victoria returns this weekend with one of their biggest fundraisers of the year, Riverside Ride and Kidzfest, Saturday morning at Riverside Stadium.<\/p>\n

The family event of 16 years invites people to ride their bikes to support the local nonprofit with Kidzfest, an event meant for the whole family.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just been a really fun way for the Kiwanis Club of Victoria to be able to fundraise for part of it, but it also raises awareness for our organization and other organizations that we partner with who serve children and are interested in children\u2019s development,\u201d event organizer Shannon Longoria said. \u2026<\/p>\n

Good things coming to King\u2019s Gate Park<\/a><\/h2>\n

By Rick Mauch | www.community-news.com<\/h4>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

King\u2019s Gate Park now belongs to the City of Willow Park and big things lie ahead for the 22-and-a-half acres city officials call a gem.<\/p>\n

Topping the list is a fundraising narrative by the nonprofit Weatherford Mountain Bike Club to raise $16,500 for the construction of a kids mountain bike skills area and trail called Trinity Track. It will have berms, an armored trail, bridges and other trail elements suitable for children and beginners.<\/p>\n

Using rock to armor or pave the trail is an alternative that hardens the tread while being more friendly to mountain bikes on multi-use trails. A berm is compacted soil, loose gravel, stone, or crushed rock that intercepts and diverts storm water runoff.<\/p>\n

In addition, 3,000-plus linear feet of singletrack trail will be constructed on the park property to help beginners progress to riding more difficult mountain bike trails. \u2026<\/p>\n
