New Bike Track In Collinsville Is Complete

The much-anticipated new Collinsville Pump Track in Darcy Munro Park is complete and open for public use.

This welcome community activity will see the youth of Collinsville enjoy outdoor recreation at this purpose built facility.

Pump tracks are similar to BMX tracks and the new track provides opportunity for enthusiasts of any age to use the track at their leisure and hone their skills.

It’s a great place to create new friends that share a similar passion for bike riding.

The circuit is designed for users to apply a push-and-pull technique rather than pedalling to make their way over a series of rollers, jumps, and berms.

The installation of the new Pump Track was part of the Whitsunday Regional Council’s ‘Shaping Collinsville’s Future’ consultation.

The Whitsunday Regional Council designed the track to challenge a range of skillsets, most suitable for beginners and intermediates.

The Whitsunday Regional Council would like to thank the Bowen Rail Company for their funding contribution towards the pump track.
