Trailblazing Burpengary
Construction has started on the highly anticipated Lagoon Road Mountain Bike Trails in Burpengary, at a location known by long-time locals as ‘The Shadows’.
The $700,000, three-kilometre trail system will be located next to Grogan’s Road Park, and is set to be Burpengary’s first-ever Council owned mountain bike trail.
The trails will have many exciting features, including two trail types - a flow trail, which is smooth and rhythmic, perfect for keeping that flow going, and a Jump Trail, designed for those who love to soar and show off their jumping skills.
Various rollers and jumps will also be featured, including:
- a Medium Roller (400mm height): Perfect for building speed and mastering your balance.
- Table Top Jump (600mm height): Catch some serious air with this thrilling feature.
- Large Roller (600mm height): For more experienced riders seeking bigger thrills.
- Timber Double Roller: Adds a textured challenge to your ride.
- Timber Snake Ladder: Test your agility on this tricky feature.
- Medium Double Roller (400mm height): A great challenge for intermediate riders.
- Large Double Roller (600mm height): A tough challenge for the brave.
Mayor Peter Flannery said as the City continues to grow, Council is keeping up with the increasing demand for outdoor recreation opportunities.
“The Lagoon Road Mountain Bike Trails will get people outdoors, challenging themselves, and experiencing the natural beauty our City has to offer,” he said.
“We’ve heard the community calls for more purpose-built spaces like these that encourage active lifestyles and foster community connections.”
Division 2 Councillor Mark Booth said the Lagoon Road Mountain Bike Trails give the community a space to connect, stay active and enjoy the great outdoors.
“This project was born out of my childhood memories of riding my bike from Narangba through Burpengary and across Morayfield to hang out with mates.
“I’m stoked we’re moving full speed ahead with this project that’s so close to my heart. I can’t wait to see this project come to life and for our community to start making memories on these tracks.”
Burpengary isn’t the only region getting an upgrade on outdoor recreational facilities, with Aurora Boulevard Skate Park in North Lakes currently undergoing a major $900,000 upgrade that will transform the skate park into a modern, inclusive facility the community can enjoy for years to come.
Deception Bay will also welcome a brand-new $530,000 pump track later this year, marking the second of its kind that has been delivered by Moreton Bay Council.
Construction on the Aurora Boulevard Skate Park, North Lakes is expected to be completed in mid-2025, while construction on the Deception Bay Pump Track is planned to start in mid-March 2025 with completion expected in mid-2025.
This project is jointly funded by City of Moreton Bay and the Australian Government.
