Blackhill Mtb park Ballarat
Black Hill MTB Park in Ballarat is a well-known riding destination with a mix of technical and flowy trails. Located just a few minutes from the city center, it's built on an old quarry site, giving it steep terrain, rocky features, and great elevation for downhill and enduro-style riding.
Trail Features:
- Downhill Tracks: Black Hill is famous for its gnarly downhill trails, featuring rock gardens, big drops, jumps, and steep chutes. These are great for advanced riders looking for a challenge.
- Flow Trails: There are some smoother lines with berms, tabletops, and rollers, offering fun, fast runs.
- Climbs & XC Loops: The park has some climbing tracks and easier trails, but it’s mostly known for its gravity-fed descents.
- Jumps & Features: Expect rock slabs, wooden ramps, gap jumps, and technical off-camber sections.
Creswick Mtb Park
Creswick MTB Park, also known as Hamberts Park, is a growing mountain biking destination just north of Ballarat. It’s part of a larger plan to develop the Creswick Trails network, making it a great spot for riders of all levels.
Trail Features:
- Flowy Singletrack: The park has smooth, machine-built trails designed for fun and progression, with berms, rollers, and small jumps.
- Beginner-Friendly Trails: Unlike Black Hill, Creswick is much more accessible to new riders, making it ideal for skills clinics and confidence-building.
- Intermediate Trails: There are some slightly technical sections with rock features and small drops, perfect for riders looking to step up their game.
- Pump Track & Skills Area: A great spot for practicing balance, cornering, and jumping techniques.
You Yangs Mtb Park
The You Yangs MTB Park is one of Victoria’s premier coaching locations, offering a wide variety of terrain to support rider development across all skill levels. With two distinct trail zones—Kurrajong and Stockyards—the park provides the perfect environment for structured mountain bike coaching.
- Kurrajong Trails (Beginner/Intermediate): Flowing green and blue trails through open eucalyptus plantations make this area ideal for skill-building in a controlled setting. Smooth gradients and well-maintained surfaces are perfect for teaching fundamentals like body position, braking, cornering, and line choice. It’s also a great space for younger riders or school programs.
- Stockyards Trails (Intermediate/Advanced): More technical terrain including steep descents, rocky sections, and advanced features. This area is suited for progressing more experienced riders with skills like technical climbing, drops, rock rolls, and high-speed cornering. Trails like Cressy Descent and Bandages or Glory offer real-world challenges in a safe, coachable environment.
