Pump Tracks Brisbane and Surrounds
A growing number of families are visiting pump tracks in Brisbane and surrounding areas.
These venues cater for a diverse range of abilities, allowing family members of all ages to join in the fun. In addition, most pump tracks are ideally located within close proximity of playgrounds, picnic areas and amenities.
A pump track is a looped sequence of rollers and banked turns, suitable for riders of bikes, scooters or skateboards. The design maximises momentum, allowing the rider to navigate with minimal pedalling.
These facilities provide opportunities for skill development, improved fitness and socialisation with like-minded peers.
Bracken Ridge BMX Park
552 Telegraph Road, Bracken Ridge
The Bracken Ridge BMX Park is home to the largest pump track in Brisbane (and one of the largest in Australia!) With 640m of competition-grade asphalt tracks, it offers runs for beginners, intermediate and advanced riders.
More capable riders can challenge themselves with freestyle jumps and obstacles ranging from 40cm to 160cm.
Even better – the pump track is located next to the Bracken Ridge Skate Plaza. Users can easily swap from one area to the other, adding significant variation to their riding experience.
Toilets and parking available.
