Windells is totally private... but there is normally a good public park at the begining of the summer and one around the time of the burton event in late july. windells has gotten cheaper and when you break it down for: coaching,private park,tickets,lodging,food,transportation of hill access to ramps,foam pits,tramps... its a hella of a good deal. if you dont need that and are just trying to ride a day or 2 here and there they do sometimes do a dig to ride program, still caost you a ticket and your have to be there early...but onlt a few hours of work and you get to shred all day for free. but they only do it once in a while and its up to the Park Manager.
