Who's behind this idea?

We are locals! We are parents of young kids on the hill here who like to bike and have seen how good pump tracks can be for our own children in developing their biking skills, getting them out and about, and meeting other people. It started out as an idea and some conversations between families, the park ranger, and some community groups. Now we want to hear from you!

Why this location?

Oakleigh Street car park offers a central, accessible spot on the hill with space for everyone. The gateway to Belmont regional park, toilets, and public transport—making it easy for the whole community to enjoy.
