#rideburnside 2022 track locations have been announced and after its initial trail rotating four locations, they have announced another year of four locations. It’s a pretty good set up (for a temporary job) and the KiA kids have enjoyed it on bikes and scooters and skateboards.
The east is definitely lacking in these facilities, so this is a great initiative to provide the community.
You’ll find the #rideburnside pump track at the following locations
Penfold Park, 591 The Parade, Magill 2 February – April 2022
Civic Centre (cnr Portrush Road and Greenhill Road) April – July 2022

While you’re there, look out for the petition on the fence and whack your name on there to help support a skatepark development for the area.
Find it at: Glendale Grove, Goolwa Is Goolwa Skate Park THE most colourful bowl in Australia? How cool is the artwork all over this skate park. Three local street artists were commissioned in 2017 to go to town with their street art skills, with the aim of preventing crime by deterring unwanted graffiti. We love it! It is a concrete skate park featuring an open bowl, spine, and small halfpipe. Great for beginner and intermediate skaters, BMX riders and scooters.

Built by the very clever folks from TrailScapes it's an asphalt surface probably more suited to older kids or kids who are confident on their wheels (at least while it's busy anyway) Image credit: TrailScapes Image credit: TrailScapes
Find it at: Cnr Olympic Way & Burgoyne St, Roxby Downs The very clever folks at The Trail Collective have won the job of creating the new pump track for Roxby Downs and the concept design drawings look very cool! It will be a multipurpose Pump Track is a circuit which allows riders of all abilities and types of bikes to ride continuously without pedalling. The vision is for the Pump Track to assist in improving community physical, mental and social wellbeing. It will be a safe place for children to learn to ride, provide an alternate recreational pursuit for youth to engage in and will be a family-friendly place to socialise. Locals have told us that there may have been a slight delay due to Covid-19 but we hope to see this awesome looking facility back on track asap!
