The mountain bike flow trails at Fitzsimons Reserve are now open to everyone!

The new mountain bike flow trails at Fitzsimons Reserve are now open and ready for riders of all ages and abilities. Designed to be welcoming and inclusive, the trails give our community a place to ride, build skills and enjoy the outdoors together.

As the first project delivered under Manningham’s Recreational Bike Facilities Plan, the trails are designed for everyone, from beginners learning the basics to seasoned riders seeking a challenge.

What’s available?

Flow trails for riders of all skill levels
A skills pad for balance and manoeuvre practise

What are flow trails?

Flow trails are specially constructed mountain bike paths that provide smooth and enjoyable riding. They feature gentle turns, rollers, and berms, making them fun and accessible to everyone.

Rollers are small, rounded mounds that riders roll over to build speed without pedalling. More experienced riders may even choose to jump from one roller to the next.
Berms are banked turns with a raised edge, helping riders move smoothly through corners, while maintaining traction and speed.

Safety and shared use

The facility is unsupervised and includes jumps and technical features. Please stay within your skill level, wear a helmet and protective gear, and respect other trail users.

What’s coming next?

Further improvements at Fitzsimons Reserve are planned for completion by May 2026, including:

a new canoe launch ramp
additional car parking
tree planting
new furniture and updated signage.

The reserve will remain open during this time, with some temporary car park restrictions.

As this is a shared space, we kindly ask that you please:

keep dogs on a lead within 15 metres of the trails
avoid smoking within 10 metres of facilities
take your rubbish with you
be considerate of other visitors.
