To ensure that everyone stays safe, all riders need to wear a helmet. Those not tempted by the adrenalin-filled ride can comfortably watch from the hill and seek shelter under one of the mature gums which line the track.

Not only is it exciting but biking and scooting on the pump tract offers several advantages. It is great exercise, gets kids outside, helps form friendships, builds bike riding and motor skills, and, importantly, is a fantastic school holiday and weekend boredom-busting fun time.

The track was completed in October 2024 and is just one of the initiatives to re-develop the 45-hectare Victoria Park as a fantastic, green space and lifestyle destination in Brisbane for visitors and residents.
Visiting the track is made all the easier with two hours of free parking in a designated car park and a toilet block. You will need to bring your own bike or scooter, as they are not available for hire at the track. The park is open daily and lit until 9.30 pm.
Herston is an easy 2.9 kilometres from the Brisbane Central Business District and is accessible by bus.
