An award-winning project, with community at the heart of its design

Welcome to Sydney’s biggest back yard!

The Wylde MTB and BMX Track is located in the heart of the Western Sydney Parklands on the land of the Gandangara and Darug people. And features more than 15km of purpose-built mountain bike trails, a BMX racetrack and the largest pump track in the Southern Hemisphere.

The design integrates each built element into the landscape, providing robust and refined structures which respond to the overall aesthetic of park. Designed for the whole community to enjoy, the site includes free parking, BBQ and picnic facilities, toilets, bike washing stations and multiple shelters providing a shady spot to sit and rest.

The multi-purpose shelters were relocated from the previous site to provide a sustainable solution to the new design.
