The City of Kwinana has responded to community calls in Wandi for bike or skate infrastructure and will install a pump track at the Honeywood Adventure Playground.
Community consultation began in November 2022, when City staff met with a group of around 20 residents at the Honeywood Oval to discuss ideas about youth activities in the area.
As a result, a jump track will be installed on the grassed area at the Lyon Road end of the park, designed by award-winning WA trail development company Three Chillies which will also construct the track with works expected to start during the December/January period.
Mayor Peter Feasey said it was an exciting time for Wandi residents, and the Kwinana community as a whole, to have a jump track just around the bend.
“The aim of the jump track is to give beginner and younger riders a good introduction to jumping and allow them to grow in confidence with their bike handling skills in a safe setting,’ Mayor Feasey said.
“The high-quality beginner level track includes a two-jump line with a catch berm,” he said.
The track will be completely hard surfaced with either red/brown asphalt or polymer stabilised hard surfacing to minimise ongoing maintenance costs and provide longevity.
“This new jump track will be a wonderful complement to the Honeywood Adventure Playground and help keep children active in our community, while drawing families into the City of Kwinana,” Mayor Feasey said.
“The jump track fulfils a community’s dream for an active space for young people and we are proud to work with that community to deliver a quality facility in Wandi,” he said.
