Get your pump on. Now avaliable at Stromlo Forest Park.
There are two tracks (built by Makin Trax Australia) - one for beginners and little ones, and another for those a little more experienced. If riding a pump track is new to you then here are a few tips:
- Have fun.... - Pump, don't pedal. You'll get it after a while. - Don't ride against the traffic. Go with the flow. - The tracks are bi-directional but only go one way at one time. - Look left/right/left/right etc if you're crossing the tracks as people can come from any direction. - Please, don't stop at the top of the berms. You'll see a common area to start/stop from. - Keep an eye on your "little" ones as they tend to be less spatially aware. - And, have fun.

Don't forget the Stromlo Forest Park, Dynamic Motivation shuttle service. Save your legs and some time by catching a ride to the top of Mt Stromlo. See link below for details.

A hugely fun place to ride for all levels as well as families. The showers are a civilised bonus before the drive back to Sydney.

Must do for any MTBer. Amazing tracks for all skill levels.

Lots of good trails for mountain biking. Great criterium circuit and running track too. Well maintained facilities!

Excellent trail system. Fast and flowy or hectic and technical. Something for everyone.

Great place to take the kids. Teach them to ride bikes as well as experienced bikers

Lots of awesome tracks, ranging from beginner to "only crazy people go on that one". Tracks are one way only and very well maintained. Great fun coming down

I'm here watching my son run in the ACT schools cross country run. It's a nice place.

What was a great facility when first opened has slowly been allowed to deteriorate due to lack of maintenance and creativity.
The MTB trails are becoming more "rock trails" rather than MTB trails. Whilst some rocks are great, the natural and man-made erosion is destroying the multi-faceted nature if Stromlo Park.

Cycling/walking tracks are awesome . Nice bbq area. Could easily spend a day here.

Great trails, always see new additions and improvements popping up and I've never found the trails to be in disrepair the maintenance team keeps on top of everything and it shows! Everyone here is friendly, am so lucky to have such a grade A facility locally!
