Pump tracks in Western Australia

Bayswater BMX & MTB Facility is a brilliant urban riding spot tucked beneath the Mooro-Beeloo Bridge at the end of Katanning Street in Bayswater, giving Perth riders a purpose-built place to practise without heading for the hills. The facility combines a junior pump track, larger pump track and MTB tech, flow and skills lines, with rollers, berms, rocks, drops and jumps providing plenty of opportunity to progress. Its location beneath the bridge also gives much of the riding area protection from the weather, making it a handy option for younger riders, BMXers and mountain bikers looking to sharpen their skills close to the city. RTS Tip: This is a great progression spot — start with the junior or main pump track to get comfortable, then move across to the MTB skills, flow and technical lines as confidence builds. There’s parking nearby at the Bayswater Boat Ramp, with additional facilities around Claughton Reserve, making it an easy option for a quick session or family ride.

Booyeembara Park in White Gum Valley, Fremantle packs a lot of fun into a compact urban MTB facility and is home to Western Australia’s first micro-downhill trails. The riding area features two roughly 400m purpose-built descents: a fast and flowy blue intermediate jump line loaded with tabletops, hip jumps, shark fins, berms and rollers, and a much more serious black trail featuring drops, step-ups, step-downs, a wooden wall ride and advanced jumping features. A beginner-friendly pump track at the trail hub gives newer riders somewhere to build skills, while an easy return climbing trail gets you back to the top for another lap. RTS Tip: Don’t let the short trail lengths fool you — the black line contains non-optional advanced features and requires solid jumping skills. Newer riders should start on the pump track, progress to the blue line when ready and session plenty of laps before considering the black. There are shelters, seating, drinking water, bike parking and nearby toilets, making Boo Park an easy spot to settle in for a skills session.

Malabar Park BMX & Community Facility in Bibra Lake is one of Perth’s standout BMX destinations, featuring a newly redeveloped UCI-standard BMX racing track alongside a public pump track. Completed in 2025, the $8.9 million redevelopment transformed the site into a high-quality facility capable of hosting major BMX events, with a technical race track featuring rollers, jumps, rhythm sections and berms. A 5m start ramp provides the full race experience during Cockburn BMX Club training and competition. Best of all, the main BMX track is open for public riding outside club operating times, giving riders the chance to experience a competition-standard track without needing to be attending an organised race session. The surrounding facility also includes a pump track, playground, BBQs, toilets and parking, making it a great option for families and riders of different abilities. RTS Tip: The BMX track is generally open to the public 7am–6pm daily, but closes when Cockburn BMX Club is training, racing or holding events — typically from late afternoon on Tuesdays and Thursdays plus selected weekends. The 5m start ramp is reserved for club use, but the main track and public pump track still offer plenty to ride. Check current club activities before making the trip.

Right in the heart of one of Western Australia's best-known mountain biking destinations, the Dwellingup Pump Track & Skate Park is a fun, family-friendly place to get on the bike, practise your skills or squeeze in a few laps while exploring Dwellingup. The pump track features a flowing circuit of rollers and corners designed to let riders build speed using body movement rather than pedalling. It's a great place for younger riders and beginners to build confidence, while more experienced riders can work on carrying speed, cornering and bike handling. Located in the centre of Dwellingup, Western Australia, the facility can be enjoyed on mountain bikes and BMX bikes, as well as scooters and skateboards, making it an easy addition to a family day out or riding weekend. And there's plenty more riding nearby. Dwellingup is surrounded by an extensive network of mountain bike and cycling trails, making the pump track a great warm-up, skills session or quick ride before heading out to explore the forests and trails around town. Whether you're introducing the kids to riding, working on your bike skills or simply looking for something fun between bigger adventures, the Dwellingup Pump Track is well worth adding to the list. RTS Tip: Don't stop at the pump track! Dwellingup is a major WA mountain biking destination with loads more trails and cycling adventures to discover. Check out the other Ride Cards on Ride The State and make a full riding day or weekend of it.

Dyoondalup Bike Park, at Point Walter Reserve in Bicton, Perth, is a purpose-built urban MTB playground designed around progression and having fun on the bike. Opened in 2024, the park features three flow trails, a jump park and pump track, with green, blue and black-rated options catering for beginners through to advanced riders. The flow trails make use of the natural slope and include berms, rollers, jumps and technical features, while the dedicated jump lines allow riders to gradually work their way towards bigger features. Set amongst mature trees close to the Swan River, it’s a brilliant option for a quick skills session without having to leave the city. RTS Tip: Dyoondalup is built for progression, so start on the green lines and work your way through the blue and black features rather than jumping straight onto the biggest lines. The park sits right beside the foreshore shared-path network, so consider riding in and combining your session with a cruise along the Swan River.

John Dunn Challenge Park in Kelmscott, Western Australia, is a purpose-built BMX and mountain bike skills park in the City of Armadale, around 25 km south-east of Perth. Designed for riders of all ages and abilities, the park features separate beginner and advanced pump tracks, jump lines ranging from beginner through to advanced/extreme, a skills loop, bike playground, bike safety track and a mountain bike skills trail around the perimeter. The progressive layout makes it a great place for kids and newer riders learning bike control, while experienced BMX and MTB riders can step up to the larger jumps and more technical features. Facilities include toilets, sheltered picnic areas, drinking water and a bike repair station, making John Dunn a great option for a family ride, skills session or a few hours practising on the bike. RTS Tip: John Dunn is built for progression, so start on the easier pump and jump tracks and work your way up rather than heading straight for the biggest features. It’s also a great skills stop before exploring the wider Armadale and Perth Hills mountain bike trails, particularly if you want to practise pumping, jumping and technical bike handling in a controlled environment.

Lake Leschenaultia in Chidlow, Western Australia, is a family-friendly mountain biking destination in the Perth Hills, around 45 minutes east of Perth. Set within a 168-hectare bushland reserve, the lake has a dedicated 12 km mountain bike trail network designed primarily for beginner through intermediate riders, making it an excellent place for kids, families, newer mountain bikers and riders looking to build their skills. The network includes flowing singletrack, gentle climbing trails, rollers, small jumps, rock gardens and technical features, with trails including Railway Run, Eastern Line, Hula, Yeehaa, Woohoo, Shakes n’ Ladders, Towies, Stewies, Man vs Machine and Blue Panther. The Eastern Line provides an approachable 1.3 km climb to the upper trailhead, where riders can choose from several descending options. Beginners can build confidence on trails such as Railway Run, Hula and Stewies, while intermediate riders can step up to faster and more technical trails such as Yeehaa, Woohoo, Shakes n’ Ladders and Blue Panther. There’s also a pump track for practising bike handling, while the approximately 3 km Lakeside Trail provides an easier ride around Lake Leschenaultia through marri and wandoo woodland. The network can also be linked towards the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail, opening up options for a longer Perth Hills cycling adventure. With parking, toilets, picnic areas, playgrounds, swimming, camping and other facilities around the lake, Lake Leschenaultia is particularly good for combining mountain biking with a family day out or weekend in the Perth Hills. Entry to the reserve is free. RTS Tip: If you’re introducing kids or newer riders to MTB, Lake Leschenaultia is a great place to start — use Eastern Line to reach the upper trailhead and progressively work through the descending trails as confidence grows. In summer, always check conditions before travelling: high fire danger can result in the West Beach area and MTB trails being closed, or the entire reserve closing when conditions become more severe.

Nannup has established itself as one of Western Australia’s standout mountain bike destinations, with the Tank 7 Mountain Bike Park forming the heart of the local trail network. Located just 2km from town, Tank 7 offers around 35km of purpose-built trails through tall forest and naturally undulating terrain, with cross-country, all-mountain and gravity riding ranging from green beginner trails through to blue, black and double-black options. Expect a raw and rocky riding style, flowing descents, technical features, natural rock, berms and plenty of elevation to keep things interesting. Nannup’s wider Trail Town network continues to grow, with the sealed Town-to-Tank trail connecting the town centre directly to Tank 7, while the Ngoolark MTB Freestyle Jump Park provides dedicated progression and jump lines closer to town. A new family and progression-focused MTB park at Pine Ridge is also under construction, adding another 16.5km of trails to Nannup’s riding offering. RTS Tip: Download the Experience Nannup App before you ride for interactive maps and offline location tracking. Tank 7 has no drinking water or food at the trailhead, so arrive prepared, and check current trail conditions as individual trails can close due to weather, forestry operations or maintenance. Private shuttle access is restricted in parts of the network, with authorised local shuttle options available.

The Ngoolark MTB Freestyle Jump Park, just 2 km north of Nannup in Western Australia’s South West, is a purpose-built mountain bike jump and skills park designed for riders to develop confidence, jumping technique and progression. Inspired by BMX-style dirt jump trails, the compact park features two 160 m downhill jump lines packed with sweeping berms, rollers, tabletops, step-downs and hip jumps, together with a dedicated 280 m return trail that gently climbs back to the start mound for another lap. The Nyini Ngoolark Biddi is the blue intermediate line, delivering a fast and flowing introduction to jump riding with berms, rollers, tabletops and step-down features. Experienced riders can progress to Boorung Ngoolark Biddi, the black advanced line, where larger, more technical and trickable jumps provide a significant step up in difficulty. Both lines finish onto Garruyul Biddi, the easy return trail back to the top. Ngoolark is part of the rapidly growing Nannup Trail Town network and provides a progression point for riders heading to the nearby Tank 7 Mountain Bike Park. Riders can drive to the trailhead off Miller Road and Vasse Highway, or ride from Nannup via the Old Timberline Trail / Munda Biddi Trail, making it easy to combine the jump park with a much bigger day of mountain biking around Nannup. The name Ngoolark is the Noongar name for the white-tailed black cockatoo. The site was identified as nesting habitat for the species, and the park was developed in consultation with the Karri Karrak Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Advisory Committee, with its design deliberately minimising disturbance to surrounding native bushland. RTS Tip: Start on Nyini Ngoolark Biddi and get comfortable with the speed and features before progressing to the black line — Boorung Ngoolark Biddi contains substantially larger jumps intended for experienced riders. There’s no drinking water or food available at the jump park, so bring supplies from Nannup. The area also contains Phytophthora dieback, so clean your bike before riding elsewhere; a free bike wash facility is available at Nannup Foreshore Park.

The Ranford Pool Walk Trail, near Boddington in Western Australia’s Peel region, is an easy 4 km return walking and cycling route following the Hotham River from Lions Weir to historic Ranford Pool (Darnmining Pool). Around 135 km south-east of Perth, the trail follows part of the former Pinjarra–Narrogin railway alignment, winding through paperbark trees, riverside vegetation and rural paddocks. The first section is sealed and wide enough for bikes, prams and wheelchairs, making it a particularly accessible option for families and recreational riders. For cyclists, the most suitable riding follows the old railway formation between Boddington and Ranford. The formed section is approximately 2 km one way, with a combination of sealed and compacted-earth surfaces suitable for mountain bikes, hybrids and touring bikes. Riders should be aware that parts of the riverside return route become a narrow walking-only trail, so the entire walking loop shouldn't be treated as a continuous bike route. The ride follows the Hotham River past Long Donkey Farm and the Hotham Valley Bridge, eventually reaching Ranford Pool. The pool is a naturally deeper section of the river associated with the former Tannin Extracts Factory, which operated at Ranford from the 1930s until the 1960s. Today the area is popular for picnicking, swimming, fishing, canoeing and birdwatching, with interpretive signs covering local wildlife and the area's cultural and industrial history. Ranford Pool itself received a significant upgrade completed in 2025, adding improved parking, shelters, seating, a barbecue, composting toilet, laterite pathways and new interpretive signage. This makes the pool a worthwhile destination rather than simply the turnaround point of the ride. The trail also fits nicely into a bigger Boddington cycling trip. Nearby is the Tullis Bridge Rail Trail, another former railway route following the Hotham River towards the historic Tullis Bridge. Boddington also has the Hotham Park recreation precinct and pump track, while longer-term plans include further development of cycling and MTB trails around the town. RTS Tip: Ranford Pool is best suited to a relaxed family ride rather than a long rail-trail adventure. Ride the formed path from Boddington to Ranford Pool, enjoy a break beside the river and return the same way rather than continuing onto the narrow walking-only sections. If you're looking for more kilometres, pair it with the nearby Tullis Bridge Rail Trail. Autumn through spring is particularly good, when the Hotham River is more likely to be flowing and the surrounding countryside is green.
