Slaughter Pen Phase II East is across NE A Street from the West section. Cyclists will find some of the more technical and challenging trails in the park here, especially Schroen Train. Rock Solid Trail crew put some major labor into Schroen during early 2018, adding large slab rock gardens, sweet dirt rollers, table-tops, rock kickers, and a pretty big drop. Those mountain bikers possessing the skill sets are sure to make several do-overs on Schroen.
