🌳🚲🏆 Coming to you from the Missouri Municipal League Annual Conference!

A team from the City of Joplin were honored today to accept the Missouri Municipal League Innovation Award for the MOmentum Bike Park project!

The prestigious MML Innovation Awards honor outstanding projects happening in communities across Missouri which enhance the quality of life for Missouri cities. The projects selected illustrate the creativity of Missouri’s local officials and municipal employees as they serve their communities and keep Missouri cities vibrant.

We're proud to see Joplin recognized for innovation and investment in recreation opportunities and thankful for the vision, partnerships, and hard work that transformed MOmentum Bike Park into a unique community asset.

👏 Be sure to check out the award-winning park on Adventure Lane!

The rumors are true... the first-ever Seasonal Drop for MOmentum Bike Park is landing mid-September, just in time to gear up for fall rides and Halloween! 🚲🍂

But there's a catch: This is a ONE-TIME VAULT DROP.

Once the pre-order window closes, this custom seasonal artwork gets archived forever. No re-runs, no restocks.

Ordering opens soon so your gear arrives right in time for spook season.

This was created specifically for fall trail rides in Joplin.

When ordering closes, this print retires permanently.

We’re dialing in final pricing now and we'll get you a link to the store as soon as we have it!

Check back soon, in the meantime, check out our Merch Website: https://momentumbikeparkmerch.itemorder.com/shop/home/!

Schifferdecker pool is experiencing technically difficulties. Our chlorine is too low for us to safely allow patrons to enter the water.

We will remain closed until we can fix the problem.

08/29/2026

Joplin High School will be using Schifferdecker Pool for a meet today from 10:00 to 2:00 pm.

This will result in a delay of opening. We thank you for your patience and support of our local athletes!
