Brisbane is on the global cycling map by opening the International Cycle Park in Murarrie.
It is set to open on Friday, 22 November 2024.
The $35 million project, a joint venture between the Federal Government and Brisbane City Council, will feature state-of-the-art criterium tracks, a 500-metre inline skating track, a new clubhouse, and upgraded parking facilities.
Construction commenced in March 2022, with demolition, repurposing, and significant infrastructure development taking place over the past year. The project is nearing completion, with landscaping, clubhouse fit-out, and track works underway.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner expressed excitement about the new facility, highlighting its significance for Brisbane’s sporting future. He said this investment will benefit local cyclists and contribute to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games legacy.
The park, located at 1238 Wynnum Road, is poised to become a hub for local and international cycling events. It will complement existing facilities such as the 1.4-kilometer cycling track, skate park, and basketball court.
The project is part of a broader vision for the Murarrie Recreation Reserve, which aims to transform the area into a premier sporting and recreational destination.
The final concept plan, developed through extensive community consultation, outlines the phased development of the reserve, with the cycle park being a key component.
