FAQs

Regular maintenance of the tracks is required to ensure the facility is used to its full capacity and most importantly continues to be safe and fit for purpose.

BMX facility styles are constantly evolving due to the creative and progressive nature of the sport and the tracks need to be designed and developed to reflect current trends.

It is important that CoA keeps up to date with recreation trends to encourage people of all ages and abilities to be active in the City. 

The redevelopment of the intermediate track followed community conversations that identified a desire by young people to develop jump skills. Previously the intermediate track did not provide this opportunity.

The redevelopment will attract a new user group amongst young people wanting to experience jumps without the need to take the significant step up to the advanced track jumps.

The intermediate track will allow riders to roll over a series of jumps or try and get some ‘air’.

• Always keep the facility clean and tidy and put your rubbish in the bin.
• Remove any fallen debris that obstruct the tracks.
• If the tracks are muddy, riding will damage the tracks. Please keep off the tracks in inclement weather.
• Follow instructions provided by signage, CoA staff, volunteers and contractors.

Intermediate track – always water before and during a ride.

Advanced track – always water before and during a ride and put the tarps back on afterwards.

Pump tracks are not only fun for riders of all ages and skills, but can serve to build a strong riding community.

A pump truck is a combination of berms, rollers, small jumps and cross-overs that you can ‘pump’ around, generating momentum and flowing through without necessarily needing to pedal.

Beginner Track: A wide, slow track for beginners on training wheels or learning to balance. Great for young people’s confidence (see photo)

Intermediate Track: Tall jumps and steep corners recommended for riders with experience and the basics well mastered (see photo)

Pump Track: Low mounds and rollers. Best suited to develop beginner & skilled riders (see photo)

Advanced Track: Maintained by volunteers. For advanced riders who have appropriate skills and equipment (see photo).

The beginner track will remain to ensure inexperienced riders can continue to gain confidence.

A new pump track for beginner and intermediate pump riders has been developed to provide an additional recreation experience at the Kurangga BMX facility.

The project renewal will be completed by March 2018.

Following the renewal, CoA will undertake further community engagement to get feedback on the renewed facility.
