As we saw the sun rising above the brand new pump track at Redhead there were squeals of delight from the kids. With 150 metres of track featuring twists, turns, rises and falls that put your skills to the ultimate test. We knew straight away this was going to be a winner. With bikes at the ready they headed in for the ride of their lives!
Directions to the pump track
Turn off Kalaroo Road onto Brown Street. Follow this road all the way down until the T junction. Turn left onto Steel Street. Take the first right hand turn onto Beach Road. Follow this road and you’ll see the car park entrance to the beach on the right hand side. Park close to the entrance of the car park.
Industry leading design
Sat on the right hand side of the car park of the beach at Redhead, the $450,000 pump track created by Velosolutions has been designed following consultation with the community. Set perfectly overlooking Redhead beach the track is designed to challenge even the most skilled rider.
Bikes, scooters and skateboards!
Created to cater for bikes, skateboards and scooters this is sure to become a popular hang out. With bench seating, an undercover area, water fountain and garbage bins there’s every reason to stay for a while. There’s even a bike repair station that has a pump and various tools which can be used to do any quick fixes.
Enjoy Redhead beach views
While this car park is popular, as it also caters for the main beach entrance, you’ll find lots of parking available. There are toilets located at the surf life saving club close by, and a cafe where you can grab a coffee, and a bite to eat.
Finish off your visit with a walk along the beach, take a photo of the shark tower and keep an eye out for whales or just chill and watch the surfers. You can head for a play at Webb Park and a walk along Owen’s Walkway which are located just five minutes walk away.
