Frick Park's variety of trails make it a popular destination for mountain bikers. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has been working with local bicycling groups to ensure the sustainability of the park's bike trails. Cyclists are urged to use existing trails rather than creating new ones in order to minimize environmental impact. For example, riding straight down a hillside can contribute to trail washout, erosion, and unnecessary impact on the park's plant and animal populations. Cyclists and pedestrians should take care to share the trails so that everyone can use the park safely.
