These grants will help create a safe and enjoyable experience for
all those looking to get outside and ride.”

the funds received to support these efforts. Focused on creating
new areas for individual and families to recreate, this new ORV
park will feature loop trails, a mud bog, children’s area, and open
riding.
“With the support of Polaris, we are creating design plans for
the first ORV Park in Juneau, in partnership with Trail Mix, Inc.,”
said Darrin Crapo, president of the Juneau Off-Road Association.
“Currently, we have very few places to ride, so this ORV park will
be a game-changer for our community, a place where we can share our
love of riding with even more people.”
Since its inception in 2006, Polaris’ T.R.A.I.L.S. Grant Program
has provided funding to national, state and local organizations in
the United States to help support the future of snowmobiling and
off-road riding. The T.R.A.I.L.S. Grant Program focuses on two main
objectives: promoting safe and responsible riding and supporting
trail preservation and access. Organizations may use funds from the
grant to increase and maintain land access through trail
development, maintenance projects, safety and education initiatives
and other projects.
To date, the program has supported 335 ATV, off-road and
snowmobiling organizations across 45 states with more than $3
million in grants. Visit the T.R.A.I.L.S. Grant Program website for
