The vision of the Griffin Bike Park is to create a national caliber riding area and recreational tourism destination for Vigo County in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The mission is for the Griffin Bike Park:

To be free and open to the public and all members of the community;
Provide a full spectrum, destination riding experience for riders of all ages, skills and abilities;
Provide a venue for world class races, competitions and special events programming;
Provide significant economic impact for the local community as a recreational tourism destination;
Provide sustainable revenue for the ongoing maintenance and operation of the facility;
And to honor those who have served our country protecting our freedoms, our families, friends and communities.

Celebration

The Griffin Bike Park project was founded in celebration of the core values of Freedom, Family, Friendship and Community and to the memories of the service men and women who have served, and who gave their lives to protect these values for us all.

Sergeant Dale R. Griffin

The park is named in honor of Sgt. Dale R. Griffin, who grew up in Terre Haute and was an active member of the community. Dale became a Sergeant in the US Army and gave his life on October 27, 2009, while serving in Operation Enduring Freedom, in Afghanistan.

The Griffin Family

Dale and his family were avid mountain bike riders, and went on many trips together to riding destinations around the country. As a family they always wanted to be able to ride closer to home so that they could ride more often and share their experiences with their friends. Together, the Griffin Family including mother, Dona, father, Gene and brothers Clint and Blake have played a central role in establishing the Griffin Bike Park project, and in the formation of the Friends of Griffin Bike Park group in order to bring the world class mountain biking to the communities of Terre Haute and Vigo County.
