  • City of Moreton Bay has opened a 3km mountain bike trail system at Burpengary
  • The $700,000 project features wooden berms, boardwalks, rollers, dirt jumps and tabletops
  • The trails are a feature project of Council’s Outdoor Recreation Plan, encouraging people to get outdoors

Outdoor adventurers are set to peddle into a new era at Burpengary after a sprawling set of mountain bike trails were officially opened by City of Moreton Bay.

The 3km Council-owned Lagoon Road mountain bike system features three purpose-built trails nestled in stunning bushland near Grogan Road Park.

City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said the $700,000 project was a key component of Council’s Outdoor Recreation Plan delivering quality outdoor recreation opportunities for people of all ages.

“As City of Moreton Bay continues to grow, we are seeing increasing demand for outdoor recreation facilities,” he said.

“The Lagoon Road mountain bike trails help meet that demand, with a trail system designed and constructed by industry experts, featuring different levels of difficulty so it can be enjoyed by people of all skill levels. 

“Importantly, the new trails give the community a space to connect, stay active and enjoy the great outdoors.”

The trails feature a multitude of wooden berms, boardwalks, rollers, dirt jumps and tabletops offering no shortage of exciting challenges to conquer on two wheels.

Thrill seekers can also navigate a rock garden, launch off a timber kicker ramp, try their luck on a timber snake ladder and much more. 

Councillor Mark Booth (Div 2) said local riders couldn’t wait to get stuck into the trails.

“There has been a lot of anticipation for the opening of these new trails and I am thrilled we can offer this facility right in the heart of Burpengary,” he said.

“With such a diverse array of obstacles and jumps, I’ve got no doubt the trails have the potential to become one of the premiere destinations for mountain bikers in South East Queensland.”

Residents are encouraged to ride to and from the trails as parking is limited.

Only pedalled bikes and pedalled e-bikes are permitted on the trails. Non-pedalled vehicles, such as motorbikes and e-motorbikes, are not permitted.

The opening of the trails follows the launch of a $530,000 pump track at Deception Bay in June and significant upgrades to four skate parks in Albany Creek, Deception Bay, Morayfield and North Lakes.
