Perfect for younger riders, the playground at Speers Point Park has a dedicated track where kids can practise their riding skills. It’s a lovely, safe, relaxed environment. With flat, paved surfaces, it’s an ideal spot for little ones to learn, gain confidence and enjoy cruising around with friends. Take a seat nearby and watch as the kids zoom around the track, practising turns and finding their feet on two wheels. Keep your eyes on them, because they’ll suddenly abandon their ride and make a beeline for the adjoining playground!
Getting to the track
Situated at the western end of Speers Point Park Playground, close to Creek Reserve Road, you’ll find this awesome little track. There’s parking available at this end of the park, and also in the main parking area. This provides easy access to the playground and track. Just be sure to park in the designated parking areas and avoid the spaces set aside for boat trailers, as rangers do patrol the area from time to time.
A mini roadway adventure
The track has been designed to mirror a ‘real’ roadway, giving little riders the chance to practise their skills while having plenty of fun. There’s a small roundabout, petrol station, parking area and lots of road signage to navigate. Kids love the traffic cones to weave around and bumpy sections that will have them jiggling along as they ride. There’s plenty of space to zoom around, particularly on weekdays when the bigger kids are at school. It’s a fantastic spot for burning off some energy and building confidence on wheels. If you’re visiting on a weekend, though, be prepared for the occasional traffic jam as the track can get busy with little riders!
Riding through the maze
Connected to the bike and scooter track is a secret maze filled with twists, turns, and plenty of spots to explore. Kids can weave their way through the maze, discover hidden corners, play games with friends, or ride straight through. The maze adds another fun element to the park and gives little riders somewhere different to explore when they need a break from the main track. Throughout the playground, paths connect the different areas, making it easy for kids to ride from one adventure to the next. If your children love being on wheels, there’s plenty here to keep them moving, exploring and having fun.
Make a day of it at Speers Point Park
Located close to the track are undercover picnic tables, garbage bins and water bubblers. You’ll also find toilet facilities just outside the playground. There’s also a nest swing nearby, making it easy to keep both riders and non-riders entertained. This is helpful when you’ve got a couple of kids with different ideas about what to do! Pack some snacks or a picnic, as there’s so much for the kids to explore that you’ll likely be here for a while. Alternatively, grab something from the nearby café and settle in for a relaxed family outing. Speers Point Park.
