The "FunPark-SG" association originally started in 2004 and 2005 with the idea of building a 4X slope. The idea was abandoned and since then the association has turned its attention to the Waldegg Trail project. After lengthy preliminary clarifications, discussions with all kinds of official bodies and objections from opponents, the city of St. Gallen granted the association permission to build the mountain bike trail.

It took two years for the city to issue the building permit last October. In the meantime, all energy was put into planning the trail. The Waldegg Trail leads from Stuhlegg to St. Georgen and will be around three kilometers long. One kilometer of this will have to be newly built, which is why they are looking for shovel-happy helpers to build the trail, which will start next spring. Anyone interested can get in touch by email. mitmachen@funpark-sg.ch

The "FunPark-SG" association invites you to an information event about the planned trail and the association's general meeting next Saturday, March 9. This event will take place at the "Flon" in St. Gallen. Doors open at 19.30, followed at 20.00 by information about the planned freeride trail. This will be followed by the general meeting of the "FunPark-SG" association. Interested parties will have the opportunity to become members of the association directly on site. To give due expression to the anticipation of the new trail, the main event will be followed by a party with hot beats from the "Tengu Collective Soundsystem".

Mountain bikers, snowboarders and skiers of all ages are represented in the "FunPark-SG" association. They are committed to providing suitable infrastructure for various fun sports close to the city. The aim is to provide a broad section of the population with sustainable, healthy and environmentally friendly leisure activities.
