Read MoreWOW! The brand NEW upgraded bicycle track at Sycamore Reserve is the perfect spot for anyone to test out their skills from the BMX pros to those with less experience under their belt.
The upgrade has seen the demolition and replacement of the previous pavilion and resurfacing to create an all-weather track as well as the addition of a starter gate and track lighting. The track is large enough that the little ones can have a turn without disrupting the more experienced riders but of course active supervision is required at all times. This is a spot you’ll have to drag the kids away from!
The track is shared with The Northern BMX Club so they have allocated track usage times, the track is only open to the public at other listed times.
Mamma's special mention: Mill Park is also home to one of the best Northside Play Spaces, Mill Park All Abilities Play Space! It’s a short car trip away.
