Lysterfield MTB Trails

Get to know our Trails

Lysterfield Park has a rich heritage in Australian mountain biking. As the official venue for the 2006 Commonwealth Games, the park set the stage for competitive MTB at a national level. Since then, it’s flourished into a beloved riding destination — with thousands of mountain bikers hitting the trails each year.

Today, the network continues to evolve thanks to dedicated volunteers and passionate riders. From flowing singletrack to technical descents, Lysterfield offers something for every rider — and it’s only getting better.
