Dirt jumps

We've seen the passion for biking in our community, with many of you creating your own jumps. Now, we’re bringing you a dedicated space where you can ride, shape, and have fun safely.

Background

In 2021, we saw a surge in children and young people embracing bike riding activities on the Mornington Peninsula, with many creating their own jumps within park lands and on roadside reserves.

In response to this, Mornington Peninsula Shire developed our Dirt Jumps Program. The pilot program took place in 2022 at Citation Reserve and was a huge success.

With the successful completion of the Pilot Program, Council adopted our Recreational Facilities for Mountain Bike and BMX Strategy on 11 July 2023.

As part of the Strategy, nine sites across the Peninsula were identified as preferred potential locations for local level dirt jump facilities.
