New mountain bike park in Bindoon takes off

The hills around Bindoon will echo with cheers of joy from mountain bikers as they hurtle down the trails at the new Bindoon Mountain Bike and Adventure Park during a Family Open Day at the facility today (July 13). The family-friendly event promises to be a fun-filled day with opportunities to participate in social rides, get expert advice on bike maintenance, and enjoy various food and beverage options.

The Bindoon Mountain Bike Park, which officially opened in March 2024, has quickly become a popular community asset that provides local and visiting mountain bikers with a thrilling outdoor experience and showcases the stunning scenery.

Spanning over 100ha, the park has a diverse array of trails catering to riders of all skill levels and offering views across the Chittering valleys and the Bindoon township.

Built and designed by renowned trail builders Three Chillies Design, the trail network incorporates the area’s natural features and includes two green cross-country walking and cycling trails, one green downhill trail, two blue downhill trails, one blue cross-country trail and two ****** downhill trails.

The idea

Mountain biking was first identified as a possible recreation attraction by the Shire of Chittering in 2012 as a way to offset the economic damage expected to come with the Bindoon Bypass.

A key land parcel in the heart of Bindoon was identified in 2019 and the project quickly gathered momentum from then.

The Bindoon Bypass is expected to result in a 40 per cent reduction in traffic through town when it is completed in mid-2025 but the shire hopes this will be offset by the estimated 50,000 visitors the park will bring to the region annually.

Early signs are promising with 3139 vehicles visiting the park between April 4 and May 6 and the shire expects it to provide more than $50 million in regional returns over the next two decades.

Looking to the future, the Shire of Chittering has plans to expand the mountain bike park. Future developments will include additional trails, upgraded facilities, and enhanced amenities to accommodate the growing number of visitors and to solidify Bindoon as a premier destination for mountain biking enthusiasts.

How to get there

Bindoon Mountain Bike and Adventure Park is located on Woolah Rise. Allow about an hour for the 84km drive north from Perth to Bindoon.

The park has ample parking and several picnic spots — and the popular Bindoon Bakehaus is nearby if you need a coffee or lunch after your workout.
