May 1st, 2022Creswick bike trails

Cyclists of all ages and abilities will soon be able to hit new mountain bike trails in Creswick.

Minister for Regional Development Mary-Anne Thomas visited Creswick to view progress on the Hammon
Park Trail Head and Bike Playground, backed by $2.1 million from the Regional Tourism Investment Fund –
Stimulus Round.
Built on the old Hammon Park football oval in the Creswick Regional Park, the Hammon Park Trail Head is
designed to encourage riders of all abilities to safely build up their mountain bike riding skills before taking on the more challenging trails in Creswick.
The project is being delivered by the Hepburn Shire Council and will also showcase the surrounding bushland, lakes and hills.
The bike playground will help young people become more experienced riders through a series of small hills and outdoor terrain. The project will also include new restrooms, along with barbecue and picnic areas to encourage outdoor events and family gatherings near the trails.
Excavation works are well underway at the Hammon Park Trail Head and Bike Playground, which is expected to be completed at the end of the year. The project is being delivered by Victorian contractors Naturform and will support up to 20 jobs during construction.
Minister for Regional Development Mary-Anne Thomas: “The Hammon Park Trail Head and Bike playground will be an asset for the local community, encouraging riders of all abilities to hit the tracks, while creating more jobs during construction.”
