Get ready to spin the pedals as you hit the dirt on Burpengary’s newest ready-to-ride bike adventure trails.
Nestled in bushland near Grogan Road Park, the 3km Council-owned Lagoon Road mountain bike system features three purpose-built trails. The $700,000 project includes a mix of wooden berms, boardwalks, rollers, dirt jumps and tabletops, offering something for everyone from first-timers to seasoned riders.
Developed as a feature project of Council’s Outdoor Recreation Plan, the trail network aims to encourage residents of all ages to get outdoors and stay active. The opening marks the end of a five-year process that included community consultation, design work, environmental assessments and planning approvals before construction could begin.
City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery said the project reflected the city’s growing appetite for high-quality outdoor recreation spaces.
“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,” he said. “Importantly, the new trails give the community a space to connect, stay active and enjoy the great outdoors.”
Local Leaders Celebrate New Outdoor Recreation Hub
Division 2 Councillor Mark Booth said the new facility captured the spirit of the bike-riding culture he remembers fondly from his childhood.
“Growing up in Narangba and Burpengary, I have great memories of riding bikes with mates and meeting up at a local spot where generations of kids built jumps and spent time outdoors,” he said. “For more than 40 years, that area has been a place where young people could explore, connect and be active. I wanted to capture that same spirit for today’s generation and give local families a safe, purpose-built space to enjoy mountain biking right here in our own backyard.”
Cr Booth said the opening of the new trails had created a lot of anticipation and he was thrilled the facility could be offered in Burpengary.
“With such a diverse array of obstacles and jumps, I’ve got no doubt the trails have the potential to become one of the premier destinations for mountain bikers in southeast Queensland,” he said. “The site went through a rigorous investigation process to ensure it was suitable. It’s surrounded by well-connected residential areas, right next to the aquatic centre and the site of the future regional playground and close to the growing Morayfield South community. With more than 20,000 homes within riding distance, it’s ideally placed.
“I’m genuinely excited to see this project come to life. I hope it becomes a place where the next generation builds the same kind of memories we did – riding with friends, learning new skills and connecting with nature.”
