WestCycle welcomes today’s Perth Park update that reinforces the importance of riding within one of Western Australia’s landmark new community precincts.
The final design includes a fully lit, 845 metre multi-purpose track that will offer enclosed, safe day and night riding to the public while delivering a long-called for inner-city criterium track with exciting nocturnal racing possibilities.
There will be potential to expand the track configuration with another 1.25km circuit available for special events and races.
WestCycle CEO Wayne Bradshaw (below right, at Burswood Park) said Perth Park would be a major win for the riding community. “These facilities will give Perth riders a safe, accessible and exciting place to ride, train and compete close to the city,” he said. “The fully lit 845m circuit will create new opportunities for community riding, club activity and evening riding, and help showcase riding as part of a vibrant, multi-use destination for the whole community.”
“It’s only through close consultation between ourselves, AusCycling, the riding clubs, the broader riding community and the State Government that we have been able to achieve these fantastic outcomes.”
With the precinct expected to be ready for use in late 2027, WestCycle looks forward to Perth riders, schools, clubs and community groups benefiting from this high-quality cycling infrastructure within a broader precinct that will also feature entertainment facilities, new parklands, walking and cycling paths, public amenities and more than 600 new trees.
